The Explorer - Session 2 - First Impressions

The Explorer Session 2, titled "The Green Dark: First Impressions," delves into the personalities and traits of the four main characters through the initial two chapters. Readers are encouraged to engage with the text by extracting specific words and phrases that describe each character and annotating them onto provided figures. This exercise not only aids in developing a deeper understanding of the characters but also enhances the reader's ability to cite textual evidence.

Max, Con, Lila, and Fred are the central figures in the narrative, and the task at hand is to explore their individual characteristics as revealed in the opening sections of the story. The activity is designed to make readers think critically about the protagonists and their roles in the unfolding tale. By closely examining the language and descriptions used by the author, participants can begin to form a picture of each character's identity, which sets the foundation for further character development throughout the story.
