We recently held a reading challenge in my class to read books by Latinx authors. We pulled a few dozen off of my shelves and a lot of them had beautiful, intricate covers with a floral motif. So we decided to create a Book Recommendation Bulletin Board with these templates specifically for books by Latinx authors. Here are some of my favorites!

I think this project would have more visual impact with markers rather than crayons, but they still look nice! Remind students that they should use the same color palette on their review as the book cover. It makes it a little bit easier for someone to find that book on a shelf. I also ask my students to write in pen rather than pencil so that it’s easier to read their writing. They should avoid writing too small as well.

You can find the template here!
