The why and the how

• VWO: I am nr 4 OR Max Einstein.
• You will read it at home and finish it before the deadline
• Do the assignments on Peppels while reading your book 
• The final test will be your mark. 
• If you've done all the assignments on Peppels, you can create something in response to the book: a report, an alternative ending, a film, a comparison between book & film, see Peppels. This is for a bonus point on top of your final mark, but only if you've done all assignments on Peppels.

A film has been made about the book I Am Number Four

TEST = Monday 29th June

This is the main character, the big cheese, the star of the show. Most of the action centers around them, and they’re the one we’re meant to care about the most.

Protagonist examples:

 Harry Potter, 

Frodo Baggins, 

Katniss Everdeen,

Indiana Jones, 

Gregg Heffley

the protagonist is good and the antagonist is evil.

 95% of the time, the protag is the hero and the “antag” is the villain.

Antagonist examples

Sauron, 

Voldemort, 

The White Witch, 

Count Olaf, 

Maleficent,
