READING STRATEGIES:

Identify with a Character: This doesn’t mean you agree with or even like a character, but that you attempt to understand their motives and feelings.
Make Connections: Does the reading connect with your prior knowledge in any way? Record how it connects to what you know about history, science, other literature, or the real world. Does it connect with you personally?
Identify Writer’s Style: Find instances of figurative language and other literary devices that you think are evidence of the author’s unique style. What effect do these devices have on the overall story?
Identify Symbols and/or Motifs: After reading several chapters, record symbols or recurring motifs that the author uses and explain their significance to the overall story.
Learn Something New: Often a novel will spark questions that are not directly about the storyline itself but about something unknown to you such as a vocabulary term, a historical event, a connection. Stop reading for a moment to look up the unknown idea/term and learn something new. Please cite the page number.
