Below you will find a pattern for a character-description bookmark.
Use this pattern to create your own bookmark, which you will use
to take notes about the main characters in Holes and, of course, to
hold your place while you are reading. At the end of every reading
assignment, write down descriptions of Stanley’s external features or
his internal thinking. Remember, authors use the following techniques
of characterization:
• character’s appearance
• character’s actions
• what the character says
• what others say about the character.
Leave the inside of your bookmark blank until your teacher gives you
further directions.
