 * ===Unit Overview=== ||
 * Who are we and what makes us unique? We all possess individual character traits that contribute to who we are as a person. In this unit you will analyze characters in a piece of literature to define and interpret their specific character traits. You will get into the "heads" of characters, imagine how they look, what they think, how they might act in a certain situation, what are their likes and dislikes.You can then make inferences to why the author created a character and what influence do they have on the plot or theme of the story. In the process, you will examine your own character traits and discuss what affect they have on your life story.

To showcase what you have learned about yourself and how we define ourselves as individuals, you will create a "MiLife" multi-media presentation that combines traditional and non-traditional art forms with language arts. You will utilize your imagination and technical skills to design a project, in your own distinct style, that depicts who you are, and what makes you unique. Who knows, maybe you will be chosen at the "Movie Premiere" as a character for a new movie __The Wicked Adventures of Three Small-town Mainahs.__ ||
