IRA (Independent Reading Activity): Postcard from the Book

            Create a postcard of the setting of your book (when and where it takes place).  On the blank side of the index card, draw your picture that shows the setting.  (You can certainly show more about your book.)  On the back (lined) side of the card, on the left side write a note to yourself as if you are a character in the book.  On the back right, address the postcard to yourself with your home address.  You can even create your own stamp in the top right corner.

            Your IRA is due on Friday.
