We would like you to produce a scrapbook in which you reflect on your relationship with reading and literature.
It can be physical or virtual, and you should be willing to share it with others. Please use lots of images and colour – make it bright and attractive!
You could do this in the form of:
- A PowerPoint presentation
- A Word document
- A physical book that you write and draw in
- Any other format that you like using
You can choose one (or all!) of the ideas below. The best work will be put on display.
