Adjective Handout

Short video on Langston Hughes. Take notes. Write down facts bout him.

1. Add onto character trait lists for Roger and Mrs. Jones. Analyze text and identify examples that create their characters. On the character trait sheets, be sure to cite specific examples where it says "evidence.' This means you should be finding quotes from the text. For example - If you say Roger is polite, one piece of evidence that infers this is that he calls Mrs. Jones, "maam."

REMEMBER to look for speech, action, private thoughts, what others think, and appearance when seeking evidence for character traits.
