Static vs. Dynamic

Before a test on character types, I had my students complete a brief review wherein they split into groups to define, explain, and provide examples of definitions. I gave them scratch paper on which to write; here is Troy Jenkins' work:



I love this. I love everything about this. The point here is that LeBron is static because he is consistent (he stays the same), whereas Kobe is dynamic because he is inconsistent (he changes). So, in just two examples, Troy both encapsulated the meanings of static and dynamic character types, and roasted his Kobe-loving classmates.

I feel like writing A + + + + + on the wall of my classroom, a la A Christmas Story.

You'll notice the staples; this is stapled to my bulletin board in the classroom, right underneath BeJesus Annotation.
