Summer 2023 Assignment for Rising Eighth Grade Students
Due the first day of school in the ELA class.
This summer, students will read I Will Always Write Back by Caitlin Alifirenka and Martin Ganda and complete a one-pager with the specifications listed below.

Required Details
- Fill the entire page with color and text. There should not be any blank, white space.
- (a white background against text is okay.)

- Include the title, author, genre on the paper. You should try to incorporate this element as creatively as possible.

- Figurative Language: Provide one example of one of the following types of figurative language: simile, metaphor, hyperbole, or personification.
- Topic: Include two quotes that relate to the development of one of the following topics: acceptance, friendship, education, family, or wealth.
- Images: Draw one large central image or multiple smaller images that represent the book (tip: may be themes, symbols, characters, or conflicts within the book).
