RRJ Entry

Tonight for homework, I would like you to do some thinking and some writing about the work you have been doing in your historical fiction book clubs or our class read-aloud My Brother Sam is Dead. Please complete a one-page entry sharing your thoughts. Some of the ideas you might write about could be:

-Setting (Where, when and what is the emotional atmosphere like?)
-Conflict/Tension
-Change (Who or what has changed? Why is this important?)
-Looking closely at character (Their traits, what motivates them, what pressures they face and the problems that exist for them)
-Repetition- What is being repeated and why? What could this mean?
-Themes

Your entry is due tomorrow, February 5, 2015.
