What ideas do you have for promoting the book fair (posters, banners, videos...)?


 * Someone needs to CREATE a poster that we can copy and hang around school to distribute.**

Terran: I'm not sure posters are the most effective way to go... 1. because there are soooo many around school already and 2. nobody really reads them anyways, but I think we should still do a few, maybe with feathers and jewels, like masquerade masks. So you know how some people read while they're going to the bathroom... we should put flyers on stall doors saying something like, "Wishing you had something to read right about now? Come check out the book fair." One cool idea might be to make masks out of old paper (that looks like pages of books) and wear them in school for a couple of days. We should have some signs going to the library once it got closer to the date. Emily had an idea of going and reading like a summary or part of some of the books they will have at the fair. I think it was a great idea because none of us really stop to read the posters or listen to announcements but we respond better to videos and speakers. Now videos, during channel one... I don't really have any ideas. ** Linh: ** I think you're right about the posters, there's so many that no one really bothers to stop and notice if there are any new ones. I DEFINETELY like the idea about the fliers in the bathroom! How far can your eye wander in a bathroom stall? I like the wearing masks at school, but I'm not sure how many people will be on board for that with the whole making them and wearing them, but I will do it if we get enough members participating. We might have to think about the whole video making of summaries in classes. I can see the possibility of that happening and I know it isn't very hard to record someone reading in exerpt out of a book, but it will be very hard to keep students' interested in watching the whole video instead of just tuning in for the first few sentences and then have the rest go in one ear and out the other.


 * Krystal **: I agree with the posters in the bathroom! I definitely paid attention to the wizbanger posters on the stall doors :) haha. and unfortunately... i have to agree with linh that most people aren't going to have the attention span to watch a video of a student reading a clip out of a book...i kind of like the mask idea. i would participate in that :)... i'm not sure how other students would respond to that though... and unfortunately... most students don't like to get involved unless there's some kind of contest involved....

**Linh:** What about a commercial for the book fair? I don't know what we could put in it, but it's an idea..?
