1. Make groups of 3/4.  

2. Let one student lie down on a large piece of paper (handed out to you by your teacher) and let another student outline the body on the paper.

3. Fill in the body outline with drawings and/or words of the character traits, relationships, motivations, and experiences. Think carefully before doing that.
