First, choose an independent reading book.
Requirements:
The book should be appropriate for your reading level.
The book must be fiction OR memoir/autobiography/biography and should focus on a character or person.
Please make sure you discuss your book with your parent/guardian to make sure you are all in agreement that is an appropriate book.
You can purchase your book on your own or check it out from the school or public library. You will need access to the book for first few weeks of the school year.

Step 2: READ, think, take notes
Read your book with character development in mind. Know that you'll be expected to be able to discuss and write about whichever book you choose! While you read, keep track of character development in the book: How does the character/person change and grow throughout the book? How can you tell? Consider using post-it notes or taking notes in a notebook (digital or paper) while reading.
