Building a literary character can be a lot of fun. It is giving form and essence to a being that will exist in the story you want to write. However, you should not take it lightly. Each of the characteristics of that character must serve the development of the story, otherwise, it will look like an extra in the plot.The next exercises are for you to create a strong character, either main or secondary, but one that supports the general concept of the story you are going to write.

Importance of learning English language arts
English language arts (ELA) concepts — reading, writing, listening, and speaking — empower students to become effective communicators, critical thinkers, and lifelong learners. They are the foundation for all other types of learning as students must rely on ELA skills to master content from other subject areas and communicate what they’ve learned.
Strong reading skills can help students make sense of written content, and gather information for further analysis. Writing skills can help students articulate their ideas, construct arguments, and synthesize information. And speaking and listening skills empower students to clearly present their ideas, participate in group discussions, and collaborate with their classmates. This is why teaching English language arts is critically important for student’s success in school and beyond.
