This learning resource focuses on analyzing character interactions in the book *Restart*. It encourages students to explore Brendan's use of hyperbole in describing his relationship with Chase and contrasts it with Shoshanna’s more skeptical perspective, highlighted through her use of coordinate adjectives. Students will dive into the nuances of their character dynamics by evaluating how Chase's actions impact his peers positively, using a Claim, Evidence, Reasoning (CER) format for argumentation. The resource also includes an extension activity that prompts students to create a metaphor to represent Chase's 'reset' personality, fostering a deeper understanding of evolving relationships within the narrative.
