The Book called "The Whale Rider' is the current book on the Year 9 reading list. They have to read the book over the summer holidays and come back to school having read to be prepared to evaluate and write an empathic response to it. However, as long as it has been in the school's curriculum there have been many negative responses to it as many people didn't really enjoy reading it. I personally didn't enjoy it that much because the plot and story-line wasn't interesting and was really boring. Although the Whale Rider had many themes involved in which made it easy to write about when the time came to write your empathic pieces. Because so many people hate the book, the Elements course "Brilliant Books' has chosen a new book to be Island's Brilliant Book and to replace the Whale Rider. Here are some suggestions on how to promote the book and to let people know about it:
- Letter
- Powerpoint and presentation
- Pecha Kucha
- Video
- Book trailer
- Poster
- Ad Campaign
- Display for the library
- Draw my life
- Speech
- Press release
- Dramatisation
The best idea to promote the book around Island School is probably to have a speech about it in assembly to get people to know about it and start reading it. This is because people usually do things when it is recommended or when they get views from other people about it. People normally ignore the posters that are put up around the school because they have a right to just walk past it and get on with their day. However, when it is told to them everybody knows about it.
