Your
Blogger.com assignment for this book is to write letters from the character that you created for our Ning Internet Role-play  to Charlie, the main character from The Perks of Being a Wallflower, about his experiences in this book.  You will respond to the letters he writes to his anonymous “friend.”   By the end of this unit, you must write at least five letters to Charlie.  Remember that posts with thoughtful responses, relevant details and hyper-linked resources are generally better than brief responses.  Really try to address the problems, concerns and issues in his letters. 
Your responses should be in complete sentences and somewhere between 200 and 500 words for to each journal prompt.  Stay in character, but also try to use correct spelling and grammar.

On your Blog, write the date of the letter you are responding to (for example) “November 23, 1991.”  In the post, you should address your letter as such:

“Dear Charlie,

I read your letter about Thanksgiving with your family and wanted to say..."

Since you must only write five letters, make sure they are detailed and lengthy.  In these letters:
- identify a problem or issue facing Charlie based on evidence from the book.
- formulate one or more possible reasons that may explain why he has this problem or issue with concrete material from the book.
- provide some possible suggestions, advice, or solutions to his problem or issue that might lead him to change or develop, using hyperlinks to resources that might be helpful.
- formulate one or more possible reasons why your suggestions, advice, or solutions may address his problem or issue with concrete material from the book.
