  1. Journal 19 DO NOW Create a recipe for a good book. What “ingredients” do you need for a book to be good? What is your favorite book? Why?

  2. Recipe for a Good Book: 2 cups of relatable characters ½ cup of action 1 cup of suspense A pinch of love 1 tablespoon of humor 1 teaspoon of drama Directions: Bake at 75 degrees for 3 hours. Serve immediately. My favorite book is Water For Elephants. The book is about a man who runs away from home and joins the circus during the 1920s. The book details his experiences with love, murder, betrayal and a very intelligent elephant. The book held my attention throughout and I never wanted to put it down. I found myself lost in this world the author created and I never wanted to leave it. I felt a part of the story. My “Do Now”
