Language ArtsWriting a play

Character Sketch• A play is told through what the characters say and

how they acts. This is why characters – especially the main character—are very important in a play.

• A character sketch will help you define your main characters and give you ideas for the way the characters would speak and behave.

• A character sketch describes, through a graphic organizer, how the character looks, acts, and feels.

Language ArtsCharacter Sketch

Audience and purpose of a playWriting for a viewing audience if different from

writing for a reading audience. For example, stage directions are used in a play to tell the actors how they should perform.
