Book Review Campaign
Along with your book review, you are going to create an advertisement campaign in order
to convince your classmates that the book you read is the best (or worst). You may use
posters, handouts, or whatever you choose to do this task. Two components are necessary
here: that you understand your book and that you are creative about trying to sell your
book to them. The dates below will help you towards your goal.
