APPENDIX E - Characterization
Characterizations in Short Stories, Novels, and Plays
Activities: Small Groups
This activity may be completed individually, in groups, or as a class. Create a
poster or other form of presentation.
CONCEPT: Methods of characterization include direct, in which writers tell
explicitly what kind of person a character is; and indirect, in which writers develop
character through action, speech, and other characters' reactions.
Compare and contrast how characters are portrayed in short stories, novels, and
plays:
You may focus on specific characters from previously read genres.
1. Describe how the characters are developed in each genre. Brainstorm how
the writer portrays the characters directly or indirectly when writing a short
story a novel, and a play? What are the similarities or differences on how
the writer develops the characters.
How can the reader or audience “know “ about the characters?
2. Write down your findings. Describe character’s physical attributes such as:
clothes, hair, eyes, and facial expressions.
3. How can the reader or audience infer about indirect character traits
(personality, values, motives).
