Overall 808, you showed really incredible insight into your reading! These were engaging and thought-provoking!

There were a few that stood out to me as examples of hooking the reading, analyzing and interpreting the story, and connecting the story to a larger audience. Check out these mentors:

804 All Star Mentors!

All of these writers wrote posts that: 

1. Hooked the reader, gave some context, and a claim

2. Wrote passionately about their claim

3. Connected to ideas to life outside the book: how is it relevant to readers? What do they learn?

As you check out these posts, think about what you might learn from their writing structure and craft! Nice job, writers of 804!
