Great work everyone yesterday, and once again thanks to those who are contributing to the discussions around our short story and in particular the work we are doing around a main character. We are going to develop this work further today by looking at key points for each reason that we came up with yesterday in our brainstorm. We will then begin to write a series of 3 paragraphs about this main character and explain why they are important.

Lesson Sequence.
