Character Summaries Grading Criterion:
For our purposes, you’ll only need to write the following:
- Main Character Summaries – describe each of the main characters mentioned in your Series Outline with one detailed PARAGRAPH apiece.
Ms. Shultz's Example:
- High-school freshman Gora Snappy seems to have it all: the grades, the looks, spunk, charisma, charm, tenacity, and a healthy dose of rebelliousness. Addicted to her phone and an enthusiastic cheerleader, you’d think she’s an All-American teen. Unfortunately, a traumatic event in middle school caused Gora to become a zombie, and the challenges she faces on a daily basis are her mostly-unseen burden to bear. Adding to the self-consciousness Gora feels as a teenage girl, she goes through every day wearing a government-mandated face mask that prevents her from eating her peers.
AND
- Minor Character Descriptions – describe each recurring minor character mentioned in your Series Outline with one or two SENTENCES apiece.
Ms. Shultz's Example:
- Tara Cinnamon – Neil Cinnamon’s younger sister. A freshman and a total tomboy. Barely seen in Season 1, she becomes close friends with Gora Snappy by the time the girls are Seniors.
Please note – “apiece” means FOR EACH.
