 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Objective **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;">: To have students create scrapbook pages for characters in the novel //Bronx Masquerade// by Nikki Grimes; to have students focus on the idea of characterization and how to apply it; and think beyond the characterization within the reading.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Materials **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;">: laptops, Glogster application, copies of //Bronx Masquerade.//
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Goal: **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> This lesson will take place after we have finished reading the novel and have thoroughly discussed all of the characters in the story (18 in total). Because there are so many characters, students have been keeping character logs to be able to organize and better understand all of the characters in the school.

 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Assessment: **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> I will be able to get a deeper understanding of students’ character analysis through the information provided. I will also be able to see if they were able to create more information about their character based on their understanding of the characterization provided to them
