Task:

== Use the human form sheets. Inside the shape, write short phrases that include ADVERBS to help describe your character. For example, if you choose Steven, you might have, DRUMMING SKILLFULLY, EMOTIONALLY CONFUSED, QUITE UPSET, etc. Use markers to fill in the phrases. Before you start, write the name of the character you are choosing on the white board so no other group chooses the same one. ==
