This site lets you create motivational posters, but you can also use them to create book posters. I quickly created this one for What Happened to Cass McBride by Gail Giles. Lots of possibilities for how this tool can be used.
ReadWriteThink Tools
Easily create character trading cards that require some depth of knowledge about story characters.
Do you tell students not to judge a book by its cover? Why not let them create a new book cover? An accompanying lesson plan can be found here.
Let students use this tool to create a comic strip of a key scene in a book.
This tool provides templates for students to create newspapers, brochures, booklets, or flyers. The lesson plan Short Story Fair: Responding to Short Stories in Multiple Media and Genres will give teachers some ideas on how to use this tool in projects.

Cool Tools, Fran! I particularly like the trading cards for book characters. I know just the teacher who’d like this idea as one of her options for student novel project assignments. Thanks so much for sharing!
