=** Utopia/Dystopia Journals **= Each journal will be a free-write, but you will need to address the four questions below in each entry. Tie your thoughts and ideas back to the reading. Also, I will be reading these and responding with notes of my own—and so will you! You will have the opportunity to read and respond to the journals of your classmates, so be sure to leave questions, comments or opinions that you think would elicit a good response!

1. **What do you notice?** Examples: Do you notice any changes in personality in the characters? Do you notice the author mentioning an object of minor character which may be important later? Do you notice anything significant about the development of the story?

2. **What do you question?** Examples: Do you question any of the decisions that a character has made? Do you wonder what a certain passage in the book means? Do you question why the author included a certain scene in the book?

3. **What do you feel?** Examples: How does the book make you feel? Which parts affect you, why? Do you feel differently about a situation or a character now that you felt before? Why have your feelings changed or not changed?

4. **What do you relate to?** Examples: Does anything that you have read remind you of your own life? Does it remind you of a movie, story, or other book, or something that happened to a friend?
