Like we did earlier in the year, you will be creating a book cover. This time instead of your library book, you will be creating a cover for our class novel, The Outsiders. This should be creative and colorful. It should contain what you consider to be the most important elements of your book. It should NOT look like the cover your book already has. On the back of your cover, write a short essay explaining why you chose the images you did. Your cover should contain at least 7 illustrated elements.
