RYNJ students learned how to characterize by using adjectives that offer detailed descriptions about the characters in a story. The students of 4B1 were asked to interview one another and then wrote paragraphs characterizing one another. Apparently, the boys in the class were “athletic, generous, friendly, kind, motivated and active.” RYNJ students also characterized artistically with pencil sketches that matched photos where only half of their face was depicted.

They were taught about the symmetry of the human face and how there is a “blueprint” to figuring out where to draw the eyes, mouth, ears and nose. The results were quite impressive, as are the students of 4B1.
