Persuasive Essay

Book (Novel) Report Project 

Skilled writers are also skilled readers, reading often and carefully. To support this goal, students must select one full-length, published novel to read, annotate, and build into a formal, persuasive essay. Fiction is recommended but non-fiction is also acceptable. Projects must also review more than two other scholars' views (secondary texts) of the novel (primary text) and focus on your own arguments regarding why the novel is important.
