Hook Moon Night

by Barbara O'Connor


White Project

There are three kinds of characters in a story.

The MAIN CHARACTER is the character(s) that the story revolves around.
SECONDARY CHARACTERS are characters who are still very important, but they are not as important as the Main Character.
SUPPORTING CHARACTERS are characters who you meet only briefly. They do not have a large part in the story.

Your project for Moonpie and Ivy is to create a Character Pyramid. A Character Pyramid is a good way to show how characters in a story are connected. You will need a piece of poster board to complete the task. To begin, make a list of all of the characters you found in the story on a scrap piece of paper. Make sure to spell their names correctly. Next, divide the characters into three groups-Main, Secondary, and Supporting. On your poster board, draw a pyramid. Make sure to make it big enough to put all of the names in. Next, divide the pyramid horizontally into three sections (use a ruler). Label each section-Main on top, Secondary in the middle, and Supporting on the bottom. Next, list the names of the characters in each section. Add pictures and descriptions to each character to help make your poster come alive.
