Character Development
Welcome to Character Development. This lesson covers key standards-aligned content.
Core Concept
Characters CHANGE throughout a story — this is called a CHARACTER ARC. STATIC characters stay the same. DYNAMIC characters grow and change. Analyze characters through: what they SAY (dialogue), what they DO (actions), what they THINK (internal monologue), what OTHERS say about them. Track how events cause characters to change their beliefs, behaviors, or understanding.
Examples
Apply these concepts by looking for real-world examples in your daily life and studies.
