  1. What can you carry? Brainstorm: make a list of all the things you can carry—think both literally and figuratively. You have to have at the very LEAST 15 things on your list, but you should brainstorm for 3 minutes without talking to anyone—only writing.

  2. Direct Characterization: Indirect Characterization: Characterization Do the things we carry directly or indirectly characterize us?

  3. Objects that Carry Meaning • Choose one of the objects that is mentioned in the story. • Describe the general connotations with that object (what everyone thinks of it). • Describe the personal connotations with that object (what makes it special to someone specific). • What does this object indirectly tell you about the character?

  4. Box 1 Characterize yourself • Choose one object that carries meaning for you and describe it in detail. Use imagery and appeal to ALL of your senses!

  5. Pass your paper • Box 2 • Read the description. Now, describe the general connotations. In other words, what do YOU think of when you read about this object.

  6. Reclaim your paper • Box 3 • Describe the personal connotations. Why is this item special to you?

  7. Pass your paper the opposite direction • Box 4 • What do the connotations tell you about this person? Elaborate

  8. Reclaim your paper • Box 5… • Reflect: • Does your object tell others what you hoped it would? Why/why not? • How does this object indirectly characterize you? • Why do objects hold meaning for people? Explain.

  9. Box 6 Modernism • How does this postmodern, 1970’s work tie in with Modernism? Are they rebelling against the same things? • What did the Modernists believe they were carrying?

  10. Memoir • Use your chosen object to write a memoir about yourself. • What does the object say about you? Why is this object important? What does it say about your life as a whole? • Does the object relate to a specific memory? If so, what? • Should be one page typed, or one page handwritten, front and back. • MAKE SURE TO HAVE IT TOMORROW BECAUSE WE ARE EDITING
