To answer question 1, the purpose of book response activities is to illustrate or demonstrate what you have learned from your reading. These activities provide an opportunity for you to showcase your understanding of the book by expressing your thoughts, analysis, and interpretation of the content. They help you engage with the text, reflect on the themes and characters, and effectively communicate your insights.
To answer question 3, the statement that is NOT true about literary genres is "Only fiction books include dialogue." While it is true that fiction books commonly include dialogue between characters, it is not exclusive to fiction. Some nonfiction books, such as biographies, can also include dialogue when portraying conversations or interviews. Hence, this statement is inaccurate.
