3.   Describe a character in your book.  Your description should include their physical appearance, personality traits, if they are the protagonist or antagonist, and your overall impression and feelings towards this particular character.

4.   Describe the setting of your book.  Be sure to include details regarding the time and place.  How does the setting of your book influence and impact the characters?

5.   Discuss a conflict in your book.  Describe the conflict.  Discuss whether this is an internal or external conflict and how you know.

6.   Find 3 words from tonight’s reading that you have never heard before.  Look up each word, write the definition in your own words, and then write each word in a sentence.

7.   Write a summary of the events that happened in your nightly reading.

8.   Think about a time in your nightly reading when a character used a Habit of Mind.  Explain the situation, which HOM was used, and how the character used it.
