As you read your selected titles this summer, please take notes regarding important information: characters, setting, figurative language, theme, conflict. Note page numbers so that it is easy for you to relocate the text evidence once classes resume. If you are using a digital book, you can highlight portions of the text; however, you still might like to keep a hard copy of your notations and numerical locations.
