CD Booklet Book Report
First, you will need to create a CD booklet that has eight pages. To do this, you need to cut two 4¾ inch x 9½ inch pieces of paper. Fold each of these papers in half once and put them together like you are making a book. Use two staples to hold the pages together. You may want to use a real CD’s booklet as a guide while doing this.
Imagine that a group of young musicians have read the same book as you, and they are so inspired by it that they have decided to create a band and their first CD based on the story.
Your job is to help them. When creating the CD’s booklet, be sure to include lots of information that proves you have a firm understanding of the story’s plot and characters.

You must include a CD with the music on it. 10 tracks

     their debut CD based on the fictional book you have read.
Here is what you might include on the pages of the CD booklet:

the music group and
album based on
something in the story.
