Session 2: HW 1: Creating Characters wkst and 5 story ideas

1. Complete the character worksheet with your future novel in mind. Think carefully about who might make an interesting protagonist (main character) and who would make great supporting characters (the main character's friends).  Who will give the protagonist problems? This is the antagonist (like an evil villain).  Describe the antagonist.

2. Now, write or type 5 ideas for a short novel you could write.  For each idea, write at least 3 sentences describing what might happen in the story.

For example:

1. I could write about a girl who goes on a trip to Paris with her family and gets lost. She is 15-years-old. She ends up exploring Paris and having a great adventure.

2. I could write about a boy who hates hot dogs more than anything, but he also loves money more than anything. He then learns his school is having a huge hot dog eating competition and the grand prize is $500. Will he join the competition?
