You are encouraged to use a multi-modal approach to this assignment, which may involve integration with the Arts and/or the use of digital technology. Promotions should include concise information about the genre of the novel (e.g. science fiction, historical fiction, mystery, graphic novel, fantasy, etc.), recommended grade level, highlights of the plot, links (where appropriate) to social justice issues or cross-curricular connections. The novel promos will be presented in week 9 (Nov. 4/5)
