We'll be in a computer lab again on April 23/24 to write an essay on MYAccess. This will be about heroes. We'll use the MYAccess prompt about "Character Traits." Notice that I have modified the prompt from the way it is presented on MYAccess.
Character Traits
Character traits in fictional or real people may have positive or negative effects on the people around them.
Select a person, real or fictional, who possesses character traits that influence others in a positive way. This is someone who could be considered a hero. You may write about a real person (someone you know or know quite a bit about, or one of the real people from Ice Story, or about one of the fictional characters from the class novels we have read this year. You could use a character from The Giver, Words By Heart, The Outsiders, or Stand Tall. Don't use characters from other novels or other books -- only from the ones we've read as a class.
Write an essay in which you describe this person's character traits and provide examples of how these traits affect other people. If you wish to, you may try writing about the character traits you find in several of these characters or people and how these are the traits of a hero.
--- Use the words "positive influence" and/or "positively influence," and the words "character trait(s)."
Your score will be based on how well you:
