Class discussion.
(Focus = character development through contrast)

Writing exercise: showing characters, not explaining them.
Having being shown 2 options where key events/story had already been established, students write an introduction to flesh out the story's character (no adjectives - situations/actions/verbs only).

HW:
Read Bill Bryson's "Darwin's Singular Notion", highlighting likes/dislikes in his style of writing.
