The document provides instructions for a writing activity where students will create chapter titles and brief notes for each chapter of the book "Iqbal". It includes a sample chapter outline with 15 chapters and prompts students to title each chapter in a way that reflects the experiences of the main character Fatima. The chapter titles and point form notes are meant to foreshadow and represent the key events in each chapter section.

1. You Are the Author: Creating Chapter Titles
Name: Abigail Ramos 8-73
When an author creates chapter divisions, they must make several choices. Sometimes they
choose to simply number the chapters. This might be because they want readers to think for
themselves. Other times they use chapter titles to set the scene, create curiosity or foreshadow
upcoming events.
In this activity, you will take on the role of the author and create a title for each of the 15
chapters in Iqbal. Your titles should be what you think Fatima would have chosen as an
appropriate title to reflect and represent her experiences. Then you need to make 2-3 point form
notes which explain the events which made you think of this title.
