Ever to the helpless, a helper indeed, that is how I might describe in anutshell my one and only aunt.

She always has a ready hand to help those truly in dire need be it

financially or otherwise. People dont hesitate to approach her whether or not

they are her friends. Complete strangers feel comfortable and at ease talking to

her about their problems. Even those who have an axe to grind against her

sometimes could not help saying favorable things about her.

She is I should say generous to a fault. She gives everybody she meets

her understanding and friendly smile, for she believes that it is one thing that one

can continuously give without getting any poorer. Along with it goes a word or

two that seem insignificant but which in fact are words of encouragement. It

amazes me no end, where she gets all the tact and diplomacy she uses in dealingwith her friends and everybody else who come to her for either advice or help or

but also with her hard-earned cash.

Whatever motivates her and keeps her doing what nobody does, I

dont know, but it amazes me a lot.

GUIDE QUESTIONS

KEY POINTS:

A description creates a picture so that the reader can see, hear, touch,

and even smell the thing or scene being described.

A character sketch describes a person so that the reader feels as though

she has met the person, telling what qualities that person possesses. It contains

elements of description, but it also usually contains accounts of the person's

habitual ways of doing things, direct quotations and stories about events that

reflect the person's character.

Pointers for writing a character sketch:

1. Emphasize a single trait that keynotes your subjects personality.

2. Begin with a topic sentence that highlights the trait you have chosen.

3. Choose details, examples or any sort of explanation to illustrate this

particular trait.

4. Use quotations that are particularly significant in explaining the kind of

person the character is.

These are the key points that the teacher should be able to discuss as he/she

process the students presentation.


14/16

B. WRITING PROPER

1. Ask the students to write a character sketch of

person that influence them a lot. The teacher has

to remind them to:List down important character traits theyve notice in that

person.

Choose one which they want to emphasize on theyre essay.

Recall or collect enough details and decide what overall

impression that their subject has made on them.

Use those impressions as starting point so they could begin

with their first draft.

Think of a good beginning sentence that will serve as their

topic sentence.

2. Self-checking. The students will be given a rubric for

a Character sketch. Let them evaluate and revise their
