to help you. Be thinking about main characters, setting, important features
or symbols, and themes.

or written on your advertisement.
Example: If I were doing an advertisement for the book Holes, I may want to
include an illustration of Camp Green Lake because it was a huge part of the
book. I could include holes everywhere, the cabin with two trees around it, and
a cluster of tents.
3. Use Pencil to sketch your advertisement. You may do a collage or drawing.
You may use words, or just use the title. Remember, this advertisements is
suppose to make someone want to read Holes.
4. Use markers, crayons, or colored pencils to color your advertisement.
5. Sign your names on the BACK of your poster!
