2. Answer the question sheet
Print out the question sheet for your character. There are four questions, and each of you will answer one of them. Your team will decide how to divide up the questions. Write a two-paragraph answer for each question. Each paragraph should have at least five sentences. Remember to add detail (the more, the better) and to check your spelling and punctuation. When you’re done, show your paragraphs to your team members and ask for their feedback.
