In small groups, take the following sentences from previous work you’ve done and use them to “make Tago come alive as an innocent and adorable 6 year-old.”  You should not simply write all of the sentences out like they are into a paragraph.  Instead, you should combine sentences, cut out a few ideas/words, add a few ideas/words, and weave sentences together.  In the end, your group should have a 1-3 paragraph mini-character sketch that portrays Tago as “innocent and adorable” as well as allows your audience to see him in action.
