Instructions: Favorite/Least Favorite Section Letter

General Instructions
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.

Favorite/Least Favorite Section Letter Instructions
Begin this letter with a mini plot summary. Continue the letter by describing your favorite/least favorite section from your book so that it will make sense to your readers. Include specific background information leading up to this section. Write down the page number and paragraph that you would like to read to the group and practice reading it at home. After you have read this section to the group, return to your letter and explain why this section is important to the plot of the story. Conclude your letter by describing why you liked or disliked this section.
