Blog #11, Due: Friday, Nov. 30th

Post your book's title and author.  Write a possible theme statement for your novel.  Based on what you have read so far, what do you think the theme of the novel is?  (Or: What do you think will be the theme if you can predict the ending?)  Make sure you explain why you chose that theme.

Blog #10, Due: Friday, Nov. 16th, 2012

Post the author and title of your novel. 

The root words we have learned so far are: uni, bi, tri, quad, pent, philo, frater, bio, patr, mater, inter, ology, pre, post, and phobia.

1.) Find a word in your book that contains one of these root words.  Write the sentence and tell us what the word means and how it relates to the book.

2.) Predict what you think will happen next in your novel!

Blog #9, DUE: Saturday, Nov. 10th

Post the title and author of the book you're currently reading.

Choose a character from your novel and briefly explain who this character is.  What is a book that you think this character would enjoy reading?  Explain why.  Don't give the first, easiest, most obvious answer that pops into your head.  Try to dig a little deeper as to what book this character would enjoy.
