2 Name: Due Date: FIRST DRAFT: TITLE: AUTHOR: GENRE: WANTED: REWARD AMOUNT: PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Based on what you learned about your character in the book, fill in the information chart below. Your book will not tell you the character s height or weight, so you will need to make a reasonable estimate for these two sections in the chart. If your book does not state the colour of your character s eyes or hair, you can choose these characteristics yourself. Distinguishing features are characteristics that make a person look unique (examples: wears glasses, has a scar on face, has a beard, wears a top hat). Height: Weight: Eyes: Hair: Distinguishing Features: Write the character s name here. How much money are the police offering as a reward to someone who helps find this criminal?

3 WANTED FOR: Think of something that your character has done and why he/she is wanted by the police. You can make the crime related to something that has happened in the book, or you can make up something new that the character has done. Write a detailed narrative describing the actions that happened and what made the character commit this crime. Try to use interesting adjectives and colourful verbs in your narrative. WANTED FOR:

4 LAST SEEN: Describe where the character was when he/she was last seen by another person. What was the character doing? What was the character wearing? NOVEL SUMMARY: Write a short summary about the plot of this book. The plot is the main events and actions that happen in the story. Remember to proofread and edit your first draft for mistakes in spelling, punctuation, capitalization and grammar.

5 Grading Rubric: Name: Date: Excellent Very Good Good Developing Content and Ideas Word Choice Organization and Sentence Structure Proofreading and Editing Final Presentation and Effort My idea for a crime that was committed by the character is creative and related to the plot of the story. I used interesting adjectives and colourful verbs to describe the crime that the character committed. My narrative is easy to read and understand. I have used different types of sentences in my responses. I have proofread and edited my writing for grammar, spelling, capitalization and punctuation errors. I have used my neatest handwriting and my best effort to draw my picture and colour my Wanted Poster Student Shade in the face for each section for the score that you feel you have earned. Total Points: Comments: Teacher Circle the number in each section for the score that the student earned. Total Points: Comments:
