Take 20 minutes to plan and generate ideas to include in your letter using one of the brainstorming strategies you learned about in the lesson. Think about specific details and examples from the text to include. Your connection and reaction to those details and examples will be your commentary. Keep in mind that this isn’t a book report or a fan letter. Think of it as a conversation with the author about your connection to the text. So, include the details that mean something to you. Write down all the ideas you think of during your brainstorming session. Don’t worry about using precise words and grammatically correct sentences.
