Hey 12s,
Here is a digital copy of your choice novel reading journal assignment:
Choice novel journal assignment 2019
And here are some questions/topics you can use to inspire journals. I’m doing this from memory and will update when I’m back at school and can work from the list I made up for you on Tuesday.
- Draw and label a map of the setting of your book, or a key part of the setting
- Do a mini body biography for a major character
- Choose a quote you find compelling, and write about it in the context of the rest of the story
- Explore a character’s perspective, who is not a narrating character (someone whose thoughts and feelings we can’t see)
- Explore the writer’s use of a literary element, like symbol, irony, metaphor, etc
- Explore a connection to a personal experience you’ve had
- Explore a connection to other academic learning – explain a related scientific concept, historical event, psychological concept, etc
- Explore a connection to politics, current events, or culture (“culture” can include anything that happens that people talk about in person or online)
- Explore a connection to another book you’ve read, film/TV you’ve watched
