Strength Shift

Students write a scenario showing how a character’s flaw transforms into a strength by the end of a story. The prompt introduces a character who is overly cautious and hesitant, and learners must develop a narrative in which this flaw initially causes problems but later becomes crucial in solving the main conflict. This encourages understanding of dynamic character traits and redemptive arcs. Students practice using clear actions, specific details, and a complete narrative structure. The activity strengthens problem-solving and creative thinking as they craft a believable transformation. It also enhances their ability to show character growth through events.
