Creative Character Analysis through Body Biography at OHS

In a dynamic project in Mrs. McKay and Mrs. Bamberger's high school English class, students are engaging with the novel "Unwind" through a creative Body Biography assignment.
This project involves the students collaboratively outlining a classmate's silhouette on a large sheet of paper, an exercise that fosters teamwork and artistic expression.
Each student labels various parts of the body and includes relevant quotes from the novel next to these sections, deepening their understanding of character development and themes. Additionally, they are tasked with performing character analyses, which cultivates critical thinking skills as they interpret the significance of each character's actions and motivations within the story. This comprehensive approach not only enhances comprehension of the material but also encourages students to connect personally with the characters and their journeys.
