This week, each student should write at least one well-written paragraph in response to his/her independent novel by Friday, February 12th.You may write on any topic relating to the middle of the novel, but make sure that your comments demonstrate careful thought and reflection. If you are at a loss for a topic, you may want to choose one of these:
- Is there a message or main theme emerging in the book? How is it shown?
- How has the author maintained or increased your interest? Consider how the author creates rising action.
- Reflect on a particular character in the novel. How is this character changing or growing?
