Listen to the audio of Chapter 3 as you follow along in your book.  Then, complete the assignment.  The BrainPop video, "Characterization" may help if you get stuck on the question about character traits.  If you are unable to access the video, it should not stop you from doing the assignment.  Character traits are the qualities that make up a person's personality.  For example, an athlete may be very driven to win all his games.  He is competitive.  We may know he is competitive when he says, "I HATE to lose."  Turn in the assignment when you are finished.  Any extra class time may be used to work on your packet or read ahead in The Outsiders.
