For your reading logs, write about the similarities between yourself and one of the characters. If it is a non-fiction, self-help sort of book, write about the kind of person to whom the book is meant to appeal.
Grammar lesson:
When do you use "less" and when do you use "fewer"? The grocery store signs are wrong! Their signs should read "10 items or fewer", not "or less" because we use the word "fewer" when you can count the number and "less" when it refers to an amount that can't be counted.
Example: You have fewer cards than I have.
I take less sugar in my coffee than my dad does.
3 troublesome words! there, their and they're
The battle was fought there. (This word can have multiple functions. In this case, it is an adverb modifying the word "fought".)
Their raincoats are all wet because they all walked to school. (possessive)
They're (contraction meaning "they are") walking through all the puddles and getting their (possessive) feet wet.
Remember, over the weekend to read to page 108 in The Wars. A2 will start the book reports on Monday. Try to stay cozy!
