The Raven Book Jacket-Elle Tallent :)

I did my book jacket on the graphic novel version of Edgar Allan Poe's The Raven. It's a story that can really be fun to read, but graphic novel form, especially in this graphic novel really made it interesting. Each page that was illustrated brought to light a very unique perspective on the plot of the story. However, on my book jacket, I stuck to what I think people generally get from The Raven. On the front I have the man and the raven front an center. I felt these two pieces of The Raven really represent all the things that are important in the plot. On the back I have the raven with a quote from the book referencing the part in the story where the raven has come in and the man is intrigued at first but then annoyed and eventually scared. This was a fun activity, and I really do think I may use it some day with my students. It's a great way to get kids hands on and doing something other than the traditional written book report, but it takes equal insight, comprehension and research.
