Each week I will assign you a different book club assignment for this journal. Read at least 100 pages a week and follow the instructions for each assignment. When you finish a book, don’t forget to write the title, author, number of pages, and date you finished in the back of your journal.
• All letters must begin with the letter heading “Dear Book Club” and include the date, just like a real letter.
• Begin each letter by telling your group the title and author. Also give a brief (3-5 sentence) summary of what the book is about, a mini plot summary.
• Write 2-3 full pages, no more, no less, plus a page for a graphic or drawing.
• Letters must be written neatly in cursive, printing, or typing.
• Correct all spelling, and use proper punctuation.
• Write on both sides of each journal page.
• Practice reading your letter aloud at home prior to sharing it in group.
Character Letter Instructions
Before writing your letter, select a main character from your book and make a character map to brainstorm ideas for your character letter. Begin the letter with a mini plot summary. In your letter physically describe a main character in your book. Next, describe his/her personality using at least two adjectives. Give evidence from the book of something that character has done that supports each adjective. What makes these personality characteristics important to the story? What do you like or dislike about this character?
