This document provides instructions for creating chapter titles and summaries for the book "Iqbal". It includes a table with 15 chapter numbers and space to write proposed titles and brief 2-3 point form notes explaining the chapter events that inspired each title. The notes are meant to reflect the experiences of the character Fatima in the story.

1. You Are the Author: Creating Chapter Titles
Name: __________________________
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.
