• Write a summary of the book that you read in November. At a minimum, you must include the following items, in any order:

1. Who is the protagonist?
2. Who (or what) is the antagonist?*
3. What is the conflict?
4. How is the conflict resolved?

• Your report needs to be one page long (2 or 3 paragraphs). It’s OK to go a slight bit over or under one page.
• Put the normal heading on your paper (name, date, class, award – if any, title, author
• Use blue or black ink on the final copy. You can also use a computer, but use a text font.
• You must attach with a staple the draft copy (first version) to the back of your report.

*If you can’t figure out who the antagonist is, it might be because it’s not a person. Conflict comes  in 4 basic categories.  Not every conflict has another person as causing the conflict. The 4 categories are:

• Person vs person
• Person vs nature
• Person vs society (the people you live with)
• Person vs himself/herself (inner conflict)
