Tuesday, Nov 8: Writing a blurb

Title:  _____

I started on page ___. I ended on page ___. 

Remember to capitalize and write 5 grammatically correct sentences.   

This week, you will write a blurb to convince someone to read your book! Write a short description of the book that the publisher could use to promote it. This is not a summary. A blurb looks something like this: 

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
Harry Potter has no idea how famous he is. That's because he's being raised by his miserable aunt and uncle who are terrified Harry will learn that he's really a wizard, just as his parents were. But everything changes when Harry is summoned to attend an infamous school for wizards, and he begins to discover some clues about his illustrious birthright. From the surprising way he is greeted by a lovable giant, to the unique curriculum and colorful faculty at his unusual school, Harry finds himself drawn deep inside a mystical world he never knew existed and closer to his own noble destiny.

  4. Big Nate: The Crowd Goes Wild
    This book is about Nate trying to get Jenny to break up with Artur. Nate knows Jenny doesn't like him, but still he tries. Artur has no clue whats going on, because he think Nate's his friend, but really Nate is his enemy. Nate always calls Jenny M'lady. Artur is new to the United Staes so he kind of talks funny. It is a really good book.
