Literature Circles Brochure

 

Objective:       The purpose of this activity is for your literature circle group to demonstrate your understanding of the book you read.  Your finished products will be presented to the class and then placed on display in our school library to encourage other students’ interest in reading

 

Activity:          On a piece of 8.5 by 11 inch paper, you will create a publicity brochure for the book you read.  Each member of your group will be responsible for providing the text or the graphs for one panel of the brochure.

 

Instructions:

 

Fold the sheet of paper lengthwise into three equal parts.  The two ends of the paper will fold toward the front (Side A).

Suggested Uses for the Panels:

 

Side A (front of paper)

Panel 1             When your brochure is finished, this panel will be the inside cover.  The Connector should provide three or four of his or her best insights in this section

 

Panel 2             The Travel Tracker can either reproduce visuals or “cut and past” them onto this middle panel.

 

Panel 3             On this panel, the Literary Luminary can showcase four or five significant quotes from the text.

 

Side B (back of paper)

Panel 4             When your brochure is completed and folded correctly, this will be the second panel your reader will see. The Summarizer should provide a clear, concise overview of the plot of the book.

 

Panel 5             Here on the back of your brochure, the Investigator can provide some fascinating and enriching background information for the novel.

 

Panel 6             This panel will be the cover of your brochure. It must contain the title of the book you read, the author, and a visual provided by your Illustrator. In addition, the names of all the members of your group should appear on this panel so that you can receive the recognition you deserve!
