Reading Journals

As you need to create a comprehensive guide that will help you revise when it comes to exam time I would like you to create a reading journal. Each chapter of every novel we read needs to be covered.

Make sure you comment upon the following;
  • Themes
  • Characters
  • Plot development
  • How the writer conveys their meaning
  • Imagery
  • Structure
  • Anything interesting or different that strikes you about the chapter.
  • Your own thoughts and reflections.
  • A brief summary of the chapter.
