- Thursday
- Set a timer for 15 minutes and read your free reading book. As you do so, consider doing the following (though you DO NOT have to write anything down!):

- Brainstorm theme words (e.g., adversity, love, etc.) for your book.
- Develop potential theme statements about the themes that emerge in your book (especially if you have read past the halfway point!).
- Allow your free reading book to help you answer the "why?" question.
- Why does the protagonist in your book do what (s)he does, say what (s)he says, etc.?
- JOURNAL YOUR THOUGHTS/IDEAS FOR 5 MINUTES?!
