Movie Poster Project

סקירה כללית על הפעילות

Movie posters are a fun way for students to boil down the most important aspects of a novel. After reading a book students will create a movie poster that showcases the setting, characters, a chosen scene or overarching themes of the story. This example showcases the popular upper elementary novel The Wild Robot but teachers and students can use this activity for any story they wish! 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. Students can elaborate further and include more writing by describing the story as well.

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.

Teachers, don't forget, you can add as many templates as you wish to provide students with choice! For additional templates to add to this assignment, check out our movie poster templates!
