Outside Reading

Write a few paragraphs about the book you are reading outside of class. Be sure to include the title of your book. Address the following topics:

  • How are you enjoying the book so far? Is it the type of book that immediately grabs your attention? Is it hard to get into? Why?
  • Which of the five literary elements from the assignment seem to be dominant at this point? Are you unsure or is it obvious?
  • Begin thinking about why the author may be using these literary elements. Write some ideas as to why the book may have been written in this manner.
  • What is the tone of the novel? Does the tone shift from chapter to chapter? Explain.
Answering these questions may lead you to consider how best to present your findings in a graphic organizer. Begin thinking about a way you can convey the tone of your novel through the graphics or layout you choose. 

Also, several other students may have read your book. If you have questions or issues about your book that another student may be able to clarify, put them in your post and you might get some answers in the form of a comment by a classmate!

Due Friday, October 2.
