- **Title page for English**: Find pictures of the texts. For the short stories, find an image that connects to one of them and label it with the name of the story. State the title for the literature that does not include it on the image. Look on Amazon.com or search Google Images. - Which piece of literature is most **memorable** and why? - Which piece of literature gave you the most **challenge** and why? - **Literary Analysis**: How has your ability to analyze literature improved this year? Explain. Use one text as an example. - **Text Evidence**: We have worked this year at finding evidence (finding quotes) to support ideas in both written and oral expression. How do you feel about your ability to find and use evidence? Pull in an example from one of your papers. - **Choice books**: list your books with a visual and explain why you chose that book. Provide a brief evaluation of the book. (Mrs. Shaw’s students: link to your book talk page)
