B. Acquisition
Read more closely the following lines spoken by the Lord of the Flies
“There isn’t anyone to help you. Only me. And I’m the Beast …. Fancy
thinking the Beast was something you could hunt and kill,” said the
head.
1. How do these lines make you feel?
2. How would you describe the Lord of the Flies based on its word?
The author of any literary text such as short story or novel does not
always directly give descriptions about his/her characters. Sometimes,
the traits of characters implied through their words and actions.
Character traits are the person’s personality, attitude or qualities that
makes who they are. As a reader, you have to understand the context of
these words and actions and relate them to your experiences. This is
called inferring character traits. Inferring character traits is an
essential reading skill that will help you understand not only the
characters but the entire story itself.
C. Make-Meaning
1. "Would You Rather?" Character Edition:
Procedure:
o Pose "Would You Rather?" questions related to character actions.
o Example: Would you rather be the character who always tells the
truth, even if it hurts someone, or the character who avoids
conflict by bending the truth?"
o Students answer the question and explain why their choice reveals
a character trait (e.g., honesty vs. peacemaking).
2. Freeze Frame Character Analysis:
Procedure:
o Briefly present a short story excerpt describing a character's action
or dialogue.
Whisper on the Wind
The air crackled with anticipation. Kai adjusted the worn leather
satchel slung across his shoulder, its contents a comforting weight
against his hip. He cast a final glance at the bustling marketplace,
the cacophony of shouts and bartering a stark contrast to the quiet
solitude that awaited him beyond the city walls. Today was the
day. Today, he would finally venture into the Whispering Woods, a
place whispered about in hushed tones, a place where legends
bloomed and secrets slumbered.
o Ask students to imagine the scene frozen in time.
o In pairs, have students discuss:
What is the character doing/saying?
What emotions might the character be feeling?
What traits does this action/dialogue suggest about the
character?
