You will need to do the 5 Ws on for your reading log. Who was the story about? What happened? Where did it happen? Why did it happen? When did it happen?

# 5 Ws for Your Reading Log 1. **Who was the story about?** Identify the main character or characters in the story. For example, if the story is about a young detective, note that the protagonist is the young detective and any significant supporting characters. 2. **What happened?** Summarize the key events and actions that took place in the story. Describe the conflict or the major incidents that drive the plot. For instance, if the detective solved a mystery, you might note that the detective uncovered clues leading to the resolution of a crime. 3. **Where did it happen?** Determine and record the setting of the story. This could include the geographical location, the time period, or any significant place mentioned. For example, if the story occurs in a bustling city, you can mention that the events unfolded in an urban setting. 4. **Why did it happen?** Explain the reasons or motivations behind the events that transpired. Consider both the characters' intentions and any underlying themes or messages the author may have intended. For instance, if the detective’s pursuit was driven by a desire for justice, note that the events happened because the detective was motivated by a strong sense of right and wrong. 5. **When did it happen?** Identify the time frame or period in which the story is set. This could be an exact time, like a specific year, or a more general period, such as "in the early 20th century" or "during the summer." You might write, for example, "The mystery unfolded in the late 1800s," or "The events took place during a single summer day." *Optional Mathematical Note:* If you ever need to express relationships or timelines with equations, you might use a formulation like \[ \text{Event Time} = \text{Start Time} + \Delta t \] to indicate the progression of time or intervals between events. This is just an example of how mathematics can sometimes help explain concepts in literature when needed.
