In my own words: A simple character that remains the same.

My own example: A lady that seems normal but literally she’s a long loss princess of Britain.


5. BRAIN EXERCISE & PRACTICEZyna V. AchayBSMT 2-BJuly,05, 2015Mr. Jaime CabreraCentro Escolar University, Philippines

I personalize my learning about the types of literary characters by completing

this activity.

1. NEW INPUTS2. CONNECTIONS3. APPLICATIONS

Related Stuff

New concepts learned What new stuff did you learn when you did

this assignment? Actually I’ve learned a lot, but one thing I

realized that the characters have their different types which makes a story interesting and related.

I also learned that it’s really important to have antagonist in a shoe because if there’s none it will unintersting and useless.

Lastly that all the characters contribute in their own way that makes a movie worked.

NEW INPUTS18

This reminds me of… Connect the new stuff you learned to

events in your own life. I can connect this through my daily

interactions with others. It seems identifying if there are enemy or a supportive type or just an extra in my life.

Also It reminds me of my attitude toward other, in a way ralizing on what tyoe of character I was to them.

CONNECTIONS19

Usefulness in real situations How can you use what you have learned

in some situations in your own life? Actually I can use this stuff in many

ways, but one thing is for sure I will use this knowledge when I have to perform. I love acting and I gain a lot of rewards because of this gifted talents.

It can be used also by interacting people on showing what kind of character I was to them.
