However will I get this done?
There are many different ways that you can create a commercial for your book. Remember, the idea is to get readers excited about your book. How you do this is up to you! Here are some ideas that you might find useful. You can also find some links to other ideas on the bottom of this page.
Sell It!
Pretends to be a publicist for the book. Write and delivers a 1 - 2 minute speech that will persuade other students that they should read the book. Writing and speaking persuasively will be especially difficult if you didn't like the book. If that's the case, you can share that fact after completing the speech.
Slideshow Presentation:
Use a digital slideshow to share your thoughts and ideas about the book you've read. Include images from the novel, or settings from the book in the slideshow to make it more interesting.
Top Ten Facts.
Create a "Ten Facts About [book title]" sheet that lists ten facts you learned from reading the book. The facts, written in complete sentences, must include details you didn't know before reading the book.
Script It!
Writes a movie script for a favorite scene in a book just read. At the top of the script, you can assign real-life TV or movie stars to play each role. You might also chose to work with classmates to perform the favorite scene.
In the News!
Create the front page of a newspaper that tells about events and characters in your book. The newspaper page might include weather reports, an editorial or editorial cartoon, ads, etc. The title of the newspaper should be something appropriate to the book.
