__ **Rimu Book Launch** __ Rimu it is your job to produce the next best seller! This is not an easy task you will need to collaborate and work systematically when writing this book as a group to produce a product that is of exceptional quality and of a standard that your target audience is willing to purchase.

Not only do you need to write the story but you also need to produce everything a book has e.g. cover, acknowledgements, contents, blurb, recommendations ...

Alongside producing the book Rimu will also be holding a book launch. There are a variety of tasks that need to be completed successfully for this to happen. You will need to put together a campaign including a website promoting the book with book trailer, posters, radio advertisement and newspaper advertisement. Remember to use your prior knowledge and include that persuasive language you learnt in Term 1. The best campaign will be used as our official book launch.

//NB: Everything must be// __//completely//__ //original. This is a real book, you must not take images from the internet. All illustrations, logos, designs must be made by you. There is no limitation other than your own creativity. You might choose to sketch with charcoal, paintings, design images online, take photographs ... the choice is endless. Please remember to negotiate your plans with me and keep a journal and reflections of your progress.//

What Now? **Motivate**: Ask yourself, What are my strengths? How can I best contribute to the book or book launch? Choose a graphic organiser - Make a plan, check it off with Mrs Stock **Locate**: Research - Research - Research - Research (e.g. check out posters/billboards, what makes a good poster? what new tips/tricks can I learn?) **Create**: Design your campaign or book contribution, evaluate! & make changes.
