5. BRAIN EXERCISE & PRACTICEESIDERA, Esther Joy L.BSMT – 2C Humanities 13July 13, 2015Mr. Jaime CabreraCentro Escolar University, Philippines

I personalize my learning about the types of literary characters by completing

this activity.

1. NEW INPUTS2. CONNECTIONS3. APPLICATIONS

Related Stuff

New concepts learned What new stuff did you learn when you did

this assignment? Keep it short: this one slide only Arrange: most meaningful stuff first- I learned that there are different types of characters. I only knew protagonist and antagonist. Good thing I now know that there are several more characters in a story. It would be a great help if I would make a movie.

NEW INPUTS18

This reminds me of… Connect the new stuff you learned to

events in your own life. Keep it short: this one slide only Arrange: most unforgettable events first- This reminds me of I being the antagonist and my siblings were the protagonists. I was bullying them for I was really bored that time.

CONNECTIONS19

Usefulness in real situations How can you use what you have learned

in some situations in your own life? Keep it short: this one slide only Arrange: most emotional situations first- If I were to make a novel or some short story, the learning that I learned today would be such a great help for me to identify different characters.
