Between April and June you are going to be asked to choose two books to read.

Once you have read book one you will complete a character study.
- Write a paragraph about the book- where and when does it take place, what is the main action, how does it end.
- Choose one main character from the book. Take a new page in your jotter and draw this character and label with their name.
