Be sure to write FIVE grammatically correct sentences.
Based on the pages you read so far in your book, give as much detail on what has happened so far. Usually you do this every night, but today, try to elaborate, which means to work out with a lot of care and a lot of detail, on just the pages you read tonight.
For example: In the book I am reading right now, 2 of the main characters, just left the Everglades own in Florida, in a speedboat. They left by night using no lights on the boat. This is how I would elaborate on what I read last night:
Katie is in need of medical attention, and Jake snuck her out from her home because she is a popular movie star and there are a lot of Paparazzi with cameras trying to get pictures of her. So he carefully carried her to the boat, and got her comfortable below deck. Then Jake slowly steered the boat through the Everglades, going as slow as possible. No one spotted them and they have almost made it to the hospital.
