Tell me about the book you just finished or about the book you are currently reading.
1. Please begin your post with a FATT sentence (Focus author text type and title.. 2. Then, tell us about the book's important details (a spoiler-free who, what, where, when, why, how). 3. Next, talk about your personal reaction to the text. 4. Lastly, tell me if the story serves as a mirror, or a window. Stories can be mirrors when we see ourselves, our lives, and our experience reflected in the text. Stories that are windows are stories that help us better understand the lives and experiences of others.
Example: The book I am currently reading is called Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson and it is a novel about a girl struggling with an event that affected her life dramatically.It had all started over the summer with one single phone call to the police. The author mentions briefly what had happened to her. Throughout the story it shows how Melinda struggles after the event and how she ends getting through this. My reaction to what had happened to her was shock because it can happen to any one and it really scared me because things like this can happen and some people don't have control over this. This story serves as a window because it opened up my mind and saw how these victims really feel and why its so hard to speak about what happened to them.
