    This document discusses characterization techniques used by authors to develop characters. It describes five methods of characterization including a character's appearance, thoughts, words, actions, and how other characters interact with them. The document also contrasts round versus flat characters, where round characters are complex like real people while flat characters have one or two defining traits. Finally, it examines static versus dynamic characters, with static characters unchanged throughout the story and dynamic characters transforming due to events or conflicts. Students are assigned to analyze characters in a story and create character cards fleshing out their traits.
