After reading today, think about the story, the events that unfolded, and one evolving theme.  Write a summary based on today's reading.  Include the following:

• Who are the key characters?
• Where is the story set?
• What problem or goal or challenge does the main character face?  What does the character do about that?
• What do you think the character is going to learn from his or her experiences?
• Do you have an idea of what the theme or central message might be?

For extra credit draw a picture and include it in your post.

Note:  This will look like a paragraph.  Indent.  Use well written sentences.  Use punctuation and do a spell check.  Show what you know and do your best work.
