Data+Sheets

Please do one of these for each novel we read this year; we will also collaborate to create a collection of Data Sheets on previously read novels. Each Data Sheet should be approximately 3 single-spaced typed pages. In each section, please refer to specific page numbers so you can look back through the book in detail as you study for the AP exam. This will be a 100 point minor grade; as such, it will be the most impactful part of this grading category. Please do these thoughtfully!
