Once you have drafted the story message and researched the target audience, the next step is beginning to build the creative components of the story. You will need to know the details of at least one main character before you can move on to developing the plot of the story itself.
Prompt

Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:
· In a sketch of one main character, identify and describe the following:
· The role of the chosen main character in the story
· The physical and non-physical attributes of the chosen main character
· The character traits of the chosen main character
· The character’s background, including significant events that occurred in the chosen main character’s past
· The motivations and ambitions of the chosen main character
