Open Mind Portrait

Dear students,

This is a reminder that your open mind portrait is due tomorrow.

You must have:

Cover page:

• the character's face
• the character's name
• the book title 
• your name

Second page:

• draw 4 things that the person is thinking about in the beginning of the story (before the conflict begins)
• write the word "Beginning" at the top

Third page:

• draw 4 things that the character is thinking about in the middle of the story (after the conflict)
• write "Middle"

Fourth page

• draw 4 things that the character is thinking about at the end of the book (after the climax) - if you have not read that far then you need to predict
• write "End"

Back Cover:

• draw the character's head as if you're looking at them from the back
