Classwork Assignment (90 minute block):
1) Discuss your Joanne Fluke or Diane Mott Davidson book with your group.
2) Read individually, in pairs, or in a whole group. Last week I heard one of the groups taking the roles of the characters and reading it as if it were a play. Remember if you do that to choice someone to be the narrator.
3) One letter per group: On looseleaf, compose a letter to the author of your novel. Write about how your class is reading her novel in your 7th grade class as part of a book club. Discuss the book you're reading. Include your thoughts on characters, setting, situations, and/or writer's style as well as parts of the book your group most or least enjoyed and why. Sign all of your names at the end of the letter.
