Movie posters are a dynamic and creative way for students to boil down the most important aspects of a novel. After reading a novel, poem or play, 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. Students may also choose to feature the names of actors and actresses that they imagine would be a good fit to play the roles of the main characters. This example uses the award winning high school novel in verse, The Poet X, by Elizabeth Acevedo, however, any story can be used!
