Glogster Book Report Reflection

For a book report, I made a Glogster about a book called, "Graceling". It was fantasy-fiction about two teenagers - a young man and woman, and their struggles as they grapple with un-blockable forces and seemingly invincible foes. Graceling is a book you cannot put down – there is action in every paragraph. It is a novel chock full of adventure, thrill, friendship, and an unsuspected romance.
I thought that this book was fairly easy to put into a Glogster. It was very obvious who were the protagonists (good guys), and who was the antagonist (bad guy). Again, the setting was simple - the book is in a fictional land named several times in the book; internal and external conflicts were distinct, and the theme was prominent as well. The only problem I had was finding the different awards Graceling had won and information about the author. I accidentally overlooked the fact that I had to put those in, so I returned my book before I could look that information up. I had to research it over the internet, and, unfortunately, it was difficult to find. The good thing was I did manage to find something after a little research. All in all, I believe that I put my maximum effort into this project, and I did my best to make sure that my online poster was visually attractive.
