Directions for Movie Poster Book Report

You have known for 8 weeks that you must do a movie poster for your book report. You have even seen 5 movie poster examples. THIS IS DUE 5/15 for A day and 5/16 for B day.

Here is a list for the parameters:

1. It must be a standard size poster board which is no smaller than what the school library (or Wal*mart) sells. About 22"x28". If you can not afford a poster board, please come see me ASAP. You must include the TITLE of the book as the title of the movie.
2. You must include the DIRECTOR of the movie (it would be the AUTHOR of the book).
3. You must include a BLURB. This should be a quote from the book. It should be something one of the characters said.
4. You should give a CONTENT RATING of your book. It can be creative :)
5. We should be able to tell the GENRE of your book.
6. DO NOT COPY ANY OF THE EXISTING COVER ART. Do not simply blow up the book cover. You need to create something that demonstrates the book and looks like a movie poster.
7. You need to have a STAR rating (1-5 stars) of the book that you will defend in your oral report.

You will also give an ORAL REPORT where you will answer the following questions:

• Describe the antagonist and the protagonist.
• Where does your story take place?
• In one sentence describe the *basic* conflict.
• What is the THEME of your novel?
• Did you like or dislike the book? Why? Please be specific.
