MOVIE POSTER BOOK REPORT PROJECT
For this book report you will be required to create a movie poster based on the theme of the book you
have read. You will be graded on your creativity, attention to detail, as well as the information that
you provide. The poster will be presented in class and explained. It should look like a movie poster
that you see in the theatres—informative and interesting to the viewer.
DUE DATE: Thursday, October 8, 2015 **100 point grade (GOLD)
Project Requirements:
Book is chosen– genre is fiction. Must be approved by Mr. B.
Must be created on a half sheet poster board.
Title of novel must be in large writing and should stand out on your movie
poster. Must say ― “Based on the book by (list the author’s name.)”
Your name will appear on the FRONT of the poster as the director.
A major illustration should be the focus of your poster. It must contain
original art to represent the theme of your novel. (Do not copy the book cover or
any existing material.)
Two quotes from the critics about the book—can be actual quotes from
actual critics (works cited on the back of poster).—check Barnes & Noble at
www.barnesandnoble.com.
List THREE famous movie stars ―cast them in the main character roles for
your movie. The stars of your movie should be named and pictured on your poster
(you may print or cut out pictures of these actors). *These actors should NOT be
in the movie version of the book.
The movie poster must have a catchy line that interests the audience and
describes the basic plot/theme of the movie. (For example: Shrek used ―”The
greatest fairy tale never told” and Charlotte’s Web used ―”Help is coming from
above.”)
WARNING: If you choose a book that has already been made into a film, DO
NOT use anything from the film in your report! All ideas and work must be
your own.
