Activity Overview


Movie posters are a fun way for students to boil down the most important aspects of a novel. After reading A Mango-Shaped Space, students will create a movie poster that showcases the setting, characters, and a chosen scene or overarching themes of the story. Students can include the title and author of the book, a catchy tagline, and a "critic's review" informing the audience why they should go to see the movie and briefly describing the compelling story.

To make this a class assignment, consider giving each student a different chapter or scene to focus on. When students complete their posters, they can be printed out and hung in the classroom. Students should be prepared to present on the choices they made during the creation process.
