2. Create a poster (8 1/2 x 10, regular size piece of paper) of the books you have read this summer. You can include the book covers/titles, a favorite scene or quote, and/or a picture of you reading in your favorite spot. You can create this the old fashioned way with markers, pencils, etc… or design it on the computer.
