Design Guidelines

Follow these steps to create your bookmark. Also use the sample bookmark on pages 155–156 as a guide.

1. Select a book that you enjoy and really know well.

Try to pick a book that might be new to many of your classmates.

2. Create a first draft.

Include the following parts on your bookmark:

• Title and author.
• A colorful picture inspired by the book. But don’t just copy the cover.
• Special words to hook the reader. These words should make the book sound exciting and interesting.
• Book summary. Your summary should tell what the book is about, but it should not give away the best surprises and secrets.
• Symbols. A symbol is an object or animal that stands for something. In Crow Call, the crows stand for freedom and life. Decorate the back of your bookmark with symbols from the book.

3. Create a final copy.

Complete your final copy on a piece of stiff paper that measures about 9 inches by 3 or 4 inches.
