“A Ghost Pleads With Ellie”
In this activity, students will demonstrate their understanding of Ellie’s character and voice by writing a dialogue between Ellie and a human ghost.
Ellie has been taught that waking the ghosts of humans is a dangerous practice—but that doesn’t stop ghosts from trying to contact Ellie to ask her to raise them from the underworld. In this activity, you will write a dialogue between Ellie and a ghost. You will make up the ghost character yourself, so the ghost’s voice is entirely up to you—but Ellie is an established character, and you should use this activity to demonstrate that you understand her personality and her voice.
