The Danger of a Single Book Cover

To Start:
Consider these book covers.

• What are they communicating to prospective readers?
• Why do you think the designers chose these covers?
• What makes an effective book cover?
• What ideas do you have for the cover to your book?

(For a challenge , read "The Reason Every Book About Africa Has the Same Cover- And It's Not Pretty" by Michael Silverberg, which provided the cover montage and inspiration for this starter.

In Class:
First, we're talking about what makes an effective book cover (rubric here), and 
Project work time!

Coming Up:
The rough draft of your story is due before class begins on Monday. You must have:

• Turned the draft in through Google Classroom.
• Three printed, stapled copies of your story.
• Completed the rubric for your own story.
