Imagine that you are this character and write a short paragraph describing yourself in detail.4. Analysis: Examine each feature of your character and determine what makes them special.5. Synthesis: Compose a journal entry called “My Perfect Day” from the character’s perspective.6. Evaluation: Decide what worked and what didn’t in your journal entry.
