In the two outlines of faces below, write the qualities that describe the “old Brian” and the “new Brian”. This does not
have to be written in sentence form. You can use a list format. This should include physical qualities as well as mental
and emotional qualities. If you run out of room on the faces, write outside the outlines.
In AT LEAST two paragraphs, use the information above to describe how Brian has changed from the beginning of the
book to the end of Chapter 13. Do not just give me a list of qualities. I expect well-written paragraphs that include
complete sentences and text evidence.
Reminder: Scan or snap a photo of this
page and send to your teacher.
