Internal & External Character Traits

Now shift to internal features. What do they like to do? What do they fear? What emotion do they most often feel? How would they respond if trapped in an elevator? Submit your brainstorming in the text box assignment submission!

Return to a character or person that you might be interested in writing about for this unit. Brainstorm their external features: Is your character a human, animal, object? What kind of clothing do they wear? How does your character move? What's the first thing you'd notice when looking at them from a distance?
