Worksheet: Outside Research

Outside research uses other sources to gain information about your character. Here is a
list of places to begin your outside research:

 Historical books on the time period and location

 Primary source material from which the show is derived
 Other biographical material published about your character (Is your character
based on a real person or a pre-existing fictional character?)
 Other works by the same writer
 Books, movies, photos, paintings or other media on the subject matter or
events in the show

Instructions: Based on your outside research, name three things you would like to
incorporate into your character work and where you found the information that sparked
your ideas. Name three facts that you didn’t know before you began your research. Did
you learn anything that surprised you?
