Armistice Runner - Session 10 - Character Analysis Abbie

Session 10 of 'Armistice Runner' is dedicated to delving into the character of Abbie through a comprehensive character analysis. Students are encouraged to explore the text for words and phrases that paint a picture of Abbie's physical appearance. This activity not only enhances their understanding of the character but also aids in developing their descriptive vocabulary. By extracting direct references from the book, they begin to form a visual representation of Abbie, which serves as a foundation for the subsequent task.

The next step in the character study involves examining the text for clues about Abbie's speech and behavior. This part of the analysis gives students insight into Abbie's personality traits, mannerisms, and communication style. The session then takes a creative turn, asking students to use the gathered descriptions to draw Abbie, thereby translating the textual information into a visual format. Finally, the students are tasked with using their own words and phrases to describe Abbie's personality, encouraging them to synthesize the information from the text with their own interpretations and understanding of the character. This activity allows students to engage with the text on a deeper level and to express their own perceptions of Abbie's character.
