GET creative in how you present your work! Write at least 2 journal entries from the perspective of a character in your book. At the beginning of each entry, state the name of the featured character and the chapter after which the entry would be written. Put yourself in the character s shoes, and consider the following questions to get you going: What are you most afraid of or worried about? What is making you anxious? Describe the person, object, or event that bothers you the most. Who has impressed, annoyed, or pleased you most so far? What other character has had the strongest effect on you? Describe the interaction you've had, and why you feel the way that you do. What do you want to accomplish in your life? What big goals have you set for yourself, and why? What obstacles stand in your way? If you could relive a moment, what moment would you like to relive, and why? What event do you think about? Why is it such a strong memory for you? Do you have any regrets about this moment? What lesson(s) have you learned? What have the events that you've been through taught you? How have you changed? Choose a value or ideal that is important to you--honesty, courage, faithfulness, and so forth. Define your value, and explore how it relates to your life. Why is this ideal important to you?
8 Once you have finished your book, make an appointment to discuss it! You can have your conference during class (while teams are working) or after school during tutoring hours. Conferences take about 15 minutes and you should have your book with you. Be prepared to talk about SOME of the following (4-6 questions): What is the setting of the book? What is the basic plot of the book (but don t give away the end!)? What are some of the ideas examined throughout the book (think about theme)? Describe a major conflict; this can be: person vs. self (internal conflict), person vs person, person vs. society. How is the conflict resolved (or is it)? Read a passage from the book that you like explain your connection! If this book is part of a series, how does it compare to the others? Who is your favorite character and why? Characterize one person in the book (actions, reactions, thinks, feels, says). How do you feel about the ending? If you could change one thing about the story, what would you change and why? If you watched a film adaptation of your book, which was better and why? What do you think is one of the messages or themes of this book?

Think about a chapter or a scene that you would like to redo and go for it! o CHANGE how a character reacts in a certain situation, and write a summary of how the rest of the story would change because of it. o COMPLETE your rewrite using any creative approach you would like; you can try to mimic the author s style or use your own creative voice.
10 DIRECTIONS: o FOLD your paper in four sections to make boxes for a cartoon strip; you may use larger paper if you like or add more sections. o ILLUSTRATE the main events in your story OR a major scene that you find interesting or important THINK about transitions: First, next, then, finally o INCLUDE lines that a character says or explanations/descriptions of the scene THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF A COMIC STRIP FOR THE GIVER by LOIS LOWRY DONE ON A COMPUTER. YOU CAN DRAW YOURS! PLEASE REMEMBER: o Name, title of book (underlined), author o Use pen or marker so that your work is easy to see o Your imagination is your only limit! J
11 It is great to receive comments about our writing. Authors want to know what you think about their books, too. Did you like the ending? Would you have written a different ending? Would you like the author to write a sequel? If you would like to discuss an author s choices, this is the activity for you! DIRECTIONS: o WRITE a letter to the author of a novel that you enjoyed. o TELL the author why you liked this book. o CONSIDER asking the author some of the following questions: How did you get the idea for this book? Did you model the main character after someone you know? How long did it take you to write this book? Do you write at home or in an office building? How much time do you spend writing each day? Do you like to write in the morning, afternoon, or evening?
