Prompt: Today, you worked on a PowerPoint presentation based on a character from "The Life You Save May Be Your Own." Do you think creating a presentation like this helps you understand a story and its characters better than a traditional worksheet? Why or why not? Explain your answer.

 Yes, I think creating a presentation helps me understand a story and its characters better than a traditional worksheet. It makes me look more closely at the character’s traits, choices, and motivations. I also think it is easier to remember the information when I put it into my own words and organize it on slides. Today in class we watched a short film on the book and started our powerpoint presentation. I learned how deep diving and analyzing a story can help you understand it and it's characters a lot better.
