It was the first day of 7th grade when Miss Perez entered our classroom. She introduced herself and told us that she will be
teaching English to the class. She was a fair woman with big glasses, and long hair and always wore ethnic attire. Before starting any
lesson that day and hurrying towards completing the syllabus, she simply asked everyone to introduce themselves. Miss Perez
brought us many engaging games to learn the grammar basics and further helped us understand every chapter with perfection. Even
with the timidest of us, she was patient and understanding and taught us to honour the learning process. She convinced our principal
to field trips to many literary plays and introduced us to many popular writers and poets that went even beyond our curriculum. She
remained the favourite teacher of 7th grade and the whole school and there was not a single class of ours that wasn’t filled with
interactive and fun learning.

Character Sketch Format
 Knowing the most necessary parts of a character sketch is essential. Observing an individual’s physical features as well as overall
personality characteristics is crucial to sketching out their character on paper. Here is the format of the character sketch:

 Personality Traits: It is important to define your character’s personality and physical traits in detail to help the reader visualize
how they look, behave, talk and act.
 Add a Back Story or their Background: To give more depth to your character sketch, you can also inquire about what their
story is, any particular thing that they always mention about their past, or their overall background so that the reader can
better relate with the character. Adding a back story can further give more allure to your character as you will go beyond how
they look or their personality traits.
 How they Changed or Evolved over the Years: If you are writing a character sketch of someone you have known for a long
time or a character you have read from a novel or short story, then you must also include their evolution and development
over time. Mention how they have evolved as a person, what major changes you have noticed about them or how they see the
world now as compared to before.
 How they Talk and Act Around People: Observing someone, you must always analyze how they act around other people,
whether acquaintances or strangers. You can also write about how the person talks about something they are passionate
about or even their perspective on life. This is another way to write an excellent character sketch that will bring any simple
character to life!
 Their Impact on You or Those Around Them: Another way to make a loveable character is to intensify the effect they have on
people and even yourself. Observe how the person behaves with others, whether they are sincere, honest, or people-pleasing,
these characteristics will further make your character sketch even more human and interesting to read.

Analysis: Students will answer the following questions:

1. Now that you know how to character sketch, can you make better characters for your stories now? Why do you say
so?
2. How can this lesson influence/ help you as creative non fiction writer?
Abstraction. The teacher will help the students gain knowledge today.

Every one of us has at least one favourite character from the novels we love. But we often find it difficult to summarize
our favourite character within a few words. The character seems larger than life and words never seem enough to portray them
fully. A character sketch simply summarizes the key personality traits, background, behaviour, and nature of a particular
character. So, if you are wondering how to write a character sketch, this blog brings you the essential features, tips, and
examples you need to curate an amazing one!

Application: The class will read another character sketch and they will be draw the character being described in a ½ crosswise.

My friend Judy has been my real support through thick and thin in life. After being friends with her for the past
17 years, I am so thrilled today when I received the news of her getting married. I still remember the first day when I
saw her in class, she was sitting on the second bench wearing glasses and adjusting her curls behind the ear. She had
 a round face with a cheeky nose and hazel brown eyes. She was a happy-go-lucky girl and always seemed helpful.
Back then she was taller than me as she had thin legs from which even the school socks used to fall. On the very first
day, we sat together and realized how amazingly we clicked with each other. She became my best friend in the class in
no time. Being a new entry into the school, her chirpiness helped her in becoming a dear friend of the entire class. Her
eagerness to help everyone out with her studies made her the go-to person in the class. I feel lucky to have such a
wholehearted person as my best friend

My neighbour, Mr Jade is a gem of a person and is recognized as the heart of the entire society. The Sabondo
family has been living adjacent to us for the last 6 years and now they have become more of a family. Unlike the other
uncles of the locality who used to scold us for being naughty, Mr Jade was always supportive of our naughty deeds. I
remember when he caught our ball and I encountered him for the first time. His bold moustaches along with
spectacles were enough to scare me but as I approached him, he started giggling like us! I was shocked to see a well-
dressed, 6 feet long man with a nice hat laughing like a child. From that day onwards, Mr Jade became the eldest
member of our group. He used to spend Sunday afternoons with us playing cricket on the ground. His jolly nature and
wise thoughts always equipped us with valuable insights into life in the most fun manner. It wouldn’t be wrong to call
him the glue that binds us all together!

Ello a 12-year-old boy who lives in a small village in Uttar Pradesh. He seems a little small or rather scrawny for his age. He has
thick brown curly hair that closely resembles a broom and his thinness makes him coincide with the stick of a broom. The locals
often make fun office appearances. On the other hand, the adults never leave an opportunity to call him a weakling because he
never speaks up for himself. Well, the reality seems to differ a little as Raghu is one of the most gentle children in the village. Unlike
the ones who enjoy their time picking each other’s legs, he mostly approaches farm animals and spends his day with them. He is
the only child in the village who can approach any five animals without scaring them. The animals get comforted by his smooth
touch and come boys instead of the loudness of the other villagers
