6. On a blank sheet of paper (CANNOT be lined paper, should be about printer paper size) you will complete the following: • Side #1: Word collage- Write the title of the book in the center of a sheet of paper. Then look through magazines for words, phrases, and sentences that illustrate or tell something about your book. As you look, think in terms of the theme, setting, plot line, as well as characters. Work to get fifty such words, phrases, or sentences so the whole sheet of paper will be covered. The visual impact of the collage should tell a potential reader a lot about the book. You may also make a computer generated collage (tagxedo.com is a great website for this) • Side #2:Information- list the following on the back side of the paper: • 1. The author • 2.
