Homework this week

I am trying to upload a photo...but struggling with a new phone.. so the example of the work we did in class is made up by me, rather than the photo of the work we did in class sorry...
This week students are decoding book covers to decide who the intended audience is.  They received a written prompt today, and their lit logs, so they can start.  They need to identify features of a book (novel) cover that target a certain audience.  We created three ways to share our observations in class...the best way is a t chart...
The rest of the info is in the handout.  We will print off copies of book covers at school tomorrow once choices have been made, just to add some visuals to the log entry.
