Giving Thanks for Novel Research

Your job today is to research some background issue that relates to the novel you are reading. You may choose to research the author, or the setting that your novel takes place in (the setting may include location and/or time in history). Focus your research on one key idea and write a paragraph that summarizes the information that you found. Once you have finished your paragraph you need to add at least one key image that relates to your research, and include a link to at least one website that you found interesting. Finally, make sure you are linked to the blogs of all other people who are reading the same novel as you are.

For the blog you are responsible for:

a) The paragraph summarizing your research
b) A minimum of one image that relates to your research
c) A link to at least one website that you found informative.

BEWARE OF SPOILERS FOR THE NOVEL YOU ARE READING!

You may take a moment to consider all that you are thankful for in your life, pick one specific thing and describe in detail why you are thankful for it. Keep in mind you need to make your reader feel the way you feel. Get some detail and emotion into your writing. You could tie this post into the novel you are reading. Many characters in the English 12 Lit Circle novels go through experiences that make us feel lucky that we are not in their shoes. If your novel is making you appreciate an aspect of your own life, then please comment on that.
