The next novel we are reading is Inkheart.  Mr. Reffett is doing this novel a little different.  We will discuss everyother day so we can have time to read the chapters. 
There are several parts of the packet for the novel.  Even though we are reading during class there will need to be some reading at home and outside of class.  I am trying to get this novel on my blog.

1. A short summary of each chapter 3-5 sentences. 
2. Character Sketch for each chapter
3. Elements of a Fantasy - Fill in as needed
4. Imagery Sheet - quote an example of a sentence you find to be well-written, expressive, or unique there are many in each chapter.  This author uses a lot of unique writing styles.  This needs to be quoted using "".
