Character Contrast

This week, you will submit one response and comment to one other student.

For your response, you will select one character from each of our book club novels. You will write a contrast of these characters. Remember, contrast is how they are different. The contrast will be complete and will use specific details from both novels to show they ways you think the characters differ.

For the comment to another student, you will NOT say something like, "Billy, that was a really good contrast" or "I agree with Billy." You will comment in a way that shows that you are thinking about the characters, add details to support the student's point, or offer details that challenge the contrast.
