2. Imagine you are the editor in charge of publishing the short story. Create a front cover and a back cover. Use next page.

Front cover: it is the first page of a book. On that page, you can find the title, the author’s name, the editor’s name, and—most importantly—a drawing that catches the readers attention and make them want to buy the book.

Back cover: it is the last page of a book. On that page, you can find the title again, the author’s name, an illustration, and—most importantly—a text that summarises the story (without spoiling the reader).

Here is an example with the first edition of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone.

1. Watch the first episode of Season 1:
