Read the last half of your book, then in a new Doc:

• Describe how something is an example of a basic pattern that you've learned about in other books or articles.
• Quote from your book and from a Discussion on Youth Voices (Citing Evidence in a Conversation) to compare or contrast a topic discussed in both places.

Use Guides: Responding to Literature. Post this as a Discussion.

Read for at least  2 hours. Your goal is to finish your book or article(s) before the 4 Tasks of this Challenge are completed.

You can do this in one sitting or you can do it 4 times for thirty minutes each time or 6 times for twenty minutes each. But it has to be focused, uninterrupted reading. No multi-tasking during your reading time. 

After you've read your book or your article for at least 2 hours open a Google Document and plan to write for about 30 minutes.

Begin by freewriting about your text. Write non-stop for 5 or ten minutes about anything that comes into your head about your book or article.

Then turn to the Literature Response Guides or to this guide, "General Response to a Non-Fiction Article. Say how a part of your book is similar or different from something that you've seen in the news.

Share your Doc with a teacher and a couple of peers, and ask them to make a couple of comments. Do not publish it on Youth Voices yet. Also make your document public.

In the Post Comment button here (on P2PU) add a link to your Google Document. You can find the link to your Google Document under the Share button. Do this before you click Yes, I'm done .
