Like the 90s alternative rock band The Offspring said, “You gotta keep ‘em separated” (from the super-cool tune “Come Out and Play”).
Of course, I think that The Offspring might have been referring to gang violence, but the phrase still works for my purposes. Just roll with it.
To hopefully cut down on confusion, 6th and 8th graders will have separate posts for their weekly assignments. PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE WRITING YOUR COMMENTS ON THE CORRECT POST OR THEY WILL BE DELETED. With that out of the way, on with the topic.
This is a two-part question.
- Name and describe the main character of your first project book. Include info such as the character’s age, physical features, and aspects of their personality.
AND
- Describe how you feel about the main character of your book. Do you like them? Dislike them? Do you think that you would want to interact with the character if he/she/it was a real person? Make sure that you tell us WHY you feel the way that you do.
Clear as mud? I hope so. If you have questions, please don’t hesitate to ask in person or email me.
Take it away, 6th graders!

Th main character is Stephanie. Stephanie is 12 years old and is dark haired, slim, tall, and strong.She loves to have adventures.
Stephanie would be a cool person to hang out with. She is very adventurous. She is kind, friendly, and a good student.

My book, Story time has two main characters, George and Kate. They have to make a desion and need to choose what ever desion they want to make together.
I like Kate because she wants to stay with her friends and she doesn’t want to leave.
I also like George because he wants to make new friends and wants to go to a new school!

As in, could I put it on hold for you? I’m sure that if you wanted to read both Skulduggery books for the project that would be fine – -particularly if you’re enjoying reading them! I strongly believe that reading things that you actually enjoy is very important!

well my book starts out with many main charecters, (the alchemyst) and im just gonna pick one of those. my main charecter is nicholas flamell. he is over 600 years old and is an alchemyst that has been running from one of his former students named Dr.Jhon D. the reason why he is following nicholas is he has The book of Abraham the mage, ( or the codex.) this book contains the knowledge of how to turn iron into gold and alot more, it has the recipe for brewing the philosephers stone, wich can turn you immortal but it must be brewed freshly at the start of each week. he is from france origonally,but he had to flee. so yep thats only ONE of the main charecters.

Did you know that the original title of the first Harry Potter book was “HP and the Philosopher’s Stone”? They decided to change it for the American market, even though I’m not quite sure why. Do you think that your book and “HP and the Sorcerer’s/Philosopher’s Stone” feature the same magic item?
