 * assignment**:
 * Go back to MyON to view the cover of **Feliz dia de Gracias, Gus!. T**hen go back to view the first scene in **Assignment America.**
 * Think about what the cover of a book or CD might be if each was recreated as another genre. **Guiding Questions:** What color background would you use? What text? What style font and what color for the text would you use? Where would the text be placed? What would be the subject matter of any pictures and what style pictures would you need to use? What would be the setting for the picture? What size would the picture be compared to the text? You might want to go to Amazon.com to look at book covers and CD covers for ideas.

 * 1) Use pixlr.com or Open office Draw of Tux Paint to **create a cover** **for one of the stories** retold as a different genre:
 * 2) Use images from Flickr commons or from search.creativecommons.org
 * 3) Use the same title and a picture representing at least one of the characters from the original story.
 * 4) Create a new wiki page called **Genres //yourinitials//**.
 * 5) Save the graphic document as a j**peg and upload it to the new wiki page**.
 * 6) **Write a paragraph** explaining the design for the cover. Describe how you used the graphic elements: contrast, alignment, repetition and proximity to create the cover. Also, explain how you used the following to provide clues to the story

In the contrast the thing that stand out the most us the gravestone. For the alignment I put the text on the Gravestone put the picture on top of the text and put the Title below. For repetition I used the same font and color for the text.The proximity is that I grouped the the text on the gravestone and the picture. I changed the children's book into a mystery and gave the readers a hint in the title. I put a ? mark because he didn't really sacrifice himself for the girl the girl killed him.
