Should be working on:

Display boards: Include info. on your author’s life (childhood, education, family, writing career, etc.). Make sure that you bullet point these and make the font big enough to read across the room. On the book, do the same with characters, setting, plot, climax/resolution, themes, etc. Last but not least you need a list of books written by your author and a pic of your author.

Projects: Should show time,effort, and originality. These should be interactive to some degree and show a connection to your book (in other words, they need to be meaningful). Ideas…game boards, models, dioramas, movies, costuming, etc.
