Book Cover Assignment

Miss Lee has been working with the class on the Conventions of  Book Covers for Media Literacy. Student have been comparing various books and their covers. They have discovered that book covers all contain similar information (conventions).
They are:
- a title
- a picture
- author's name
- illustrator (when needed)
- Book Series Title (optional)
- Subtitle (optional)
- Seal stickers or award symbols (optional).

In class student began their assignment  'Make and Old Cover New!' Students were asked to select a book from a stack of 'old covers' and brainstorm to create a new, refreshing, eye-catching cover.  Students are expected to arrive on Monday with their book covers completed and coloured.

Take a look how this popular book's cover has changed over the years.
