Lesson Outline

1. Introduction (5 minutes)

- Welcome students to the "Cafe Talk" session and explain the format.

- Share the objectives of the lesson regarding the importance of character naming in writing.

**2. Icebreaker Discussion (10 minutes)**

- Prompt students with a few questions:

- What makes a character's name effective or memorable?

- Can you think of a character whose name surprised you or resonated deeply?

- Allow students to share their thoughts in pairs or small groups for a few minutes.

3. Naming Brainstorming Activity (15 minutes)

- Divide students into small groups (3-4 students per group).

- Provide each group with a large sheet of paper or a section of a whiteboard.

- Ask them to brainstorm names for a specific type of character (e.g., fantasy hero, sci-fi villain, contemporary romantic interest).

- Encourage them to consider meanings, sounds, and cultural significance.

- Suggest using a character name generator as a tool for inspiration.

- After 10 minutes, each group should select their top three names and describe why they chose them.

4. Character Development (15 minutes)

- Once they have their names, prompt groups to develop a brief character profile for one or more of their selected names. Include:

- Backstory

- Personality traits

- Strengths and weaknesses

- What roles they might play in a story

- Encourage creativity and thinking outside the box.

5. Sharing and Feedback (10 minutes)

- Each group presents one character and their name to the entire class.

- Encourage feedback focused on the effectiveness of the name and how well it fits the character's profile.

- Facilitate discussion around any interesting or unique names that come up.

6. Wrap-Up (5 minutes)

- Summarize key takeaways about the relationship between character names and their identities.

- Encourage students to think about these concepts in their writing going forward.

Assessment:

- While formal assessment isn’t the focus of the Cafe Talk, observant feedback can be given based on group collaboration and creativity.

- Suggest students use the character names and profiles developed in this session for a future writing assignment, such as a short story or character sketch.
