Read 15 minutes nightly and find a spark.   *** Remember the sparks you are collecting will aid you in writing your journal entry which is now due on Monday, Dec. 14th. *** Your journal entry is written in your connection/lift section of your Notebook Know How (where you were writing lifts before). It should be 1/2-1 page for grade six and 3/4-1 page in length for grade seven. Your spark/sparks should be stuck to the entry along the margin or at the top.   *** Your journal entry should reflect insightful thinking. You need to show you have a deep understanding of the book rather then provide a simple retell. Show your audience your emotions and feelings, let us know what personal connection you had with the book at that moment. I look forward to reading each and every one of your entries.   Good luck!
