TikTok Challenge: Tell Me Without Telling Me

Indirect Characterization is when the reader infers something about a character based on his or her actions. Basically, it's when the the author SHOWS the reader something about the character, rather than TELLING the reader.

Create a TikTok-like video that has you SHOW something rather than TELL something about yourself. For example:
-Tell me you're an athlete without telling me you're an athlete
-Tell me you're a theatre kid without telling me you're a theatre kid
There is an example video attached.

Whatever you choose, it MUST be school-appropriate (both in topic and in content). Please note: You do not have to use TikTok, have the app, or upload the video to TikTok.

Please upload your videos to this assignment by the start of class on Monday, March 8th.
