Child Lit Formal Writing Part 1

• Starting with the cover of your book, go through it and note your personal responses (as a child and and as an adult) to both the form and content of the book.
  

• You may format your annotation any way you wish so long as your readers will be able easily to connect your annotations to the relevant part of the book. (Be sure to give me a copy of your "found book" unless you have scanned it as part of your project, or I have told you that I have a copy of the book.)
