Write a paragraph that uses evidence from the text to answer the questions.

Brainstorm on this sheet and hand in by due date.
Final written work is ONE well-written paragraph using the point-proof-purpose strategy.
Write the paragraph neatly on the lined side of the index card provided OR type the
paragraph and paste it to the card.
Creatively decorate the other side of the card with words/pictures relevant to the book.
You must include the book’s title and author.
