Imagine that your book has been made into a documentary. How would you create a poster that conveys something significant about the events, people, tone, and/or theme of the book while simultaneously attracting a wide audience? 

• Create a hand-made, 8 ½ x 11” poster that represents at least 3 key aspects of the book. 

• The poster may be done using any medium or combination of mediums you choose, such as colored pencils, watercolors, collage, etc. but may not be printed or completed using an online program, such as Canva. 

• On the back of your poster, include three fictional reviews highlighting a specific aspect of the book.  Each review should be between 2-5 sentences in length. (Reviews may be typed and printed.)

• The poster should be turned in to the library during the first week of school. 

Create a playlist of 10-15 songs that represent different elements of the book. These can be events, people, themes, etc. 

• Identify the title and artist for each song. 

• For each song, write a short (2-5 sentence) explanation on how it connects to the book. 

• Use Google Docs and submit this assignment on the Summer Google Classroom. 

Write a 1 ½ - 2 page letter to the author or a major player within the book you read. 

Potential ideas to discuss in the letter:

• Your reactions and thoughts to the situation and events within the book

• Questions you have after reading the book

• Were any of your own views or opinions changed, influenced, or reinforced by reading the book?

• Use Google Docs and submit this assignment on the Summer Google Classroom. 

Write a book review for your chosen book. Be sure to note the title, author, year of publication, and a BRIEF synopsis of the events. Then state whether you think this book was or was not an appropriate choice for Oakmont.  Be specific!   

Discuss:

• Discuss the book’s educational and artistic value.

• Address the 3 questions:  What was the author trying to do?  How well did they do it?  Was it worth reading? 

• You may include what specifically you liked or didn't like about the book (writing style, pacing, organization of the events, etc.)  

• Your book review should be 1 ½ - 2 pages long, double spaced.  Use Google Docs and submit this assignment on the Summer Google Classroom.
