Summarize the Book in 75 Words

Book Promotion Name______Hour______

The final project in the Just 4 Fun unit is to create some type of promotional material for your book. The promotional material should, of course, promote your book so people want to read it, but it should also hit on the elements of a story. That means that after looking at your promotional material I should have a bit of an understanding who the main character is, where it’s set, and what problem the character faces.

Filling out this sheet will help you plan your promotional materials.
