Homework for week of October 28

This is the same assignment from last week. I would guess that your notes/annotations will be observations, wonderings and questions. There are also more specific suggestions for annotations below.

Read and annotate/ take notes on your literary research novel. The following three items will be due on Friday, November 1:

1. Notes/annotations. See suggestions for annotations here: Annotation suggestions
2. Completed Literary elements chart. (I sent you this chart in Google Drive).
Here is an exemplar lit chart
Here is another exemplar as well: Second lit chart exemplar 
3. A letter (2-3 pages) which follows these guidelines/questions:
Observe the style of your author. What did you notice about the sentences? Paragraphs? Chapters? Voice? What did you think your author did exceptionally well? What confused you about your author? Why? In looking at the biographical details of your author (or time period), what questions do you have so far? What do you expect from the next novel? And, the million dollar question: Do you think you made the right choice? Length: 2-3 pages, double-spaced.
Here is an exemplar letter
