Book Trailers

Paper book reports are a thing of the past! With Book Trailers students can create a short movie about their book using Photo Story or Windows Movie Maker. In my classroom last year, students were eager to finish a book so they could make a trailer about it and post it online for others to view. Students were engaged and were allowed to be creative during the process. You can view some book trailers by visiting this wiki: Book Trailers for Readers.

    I love this idea. I had student create their own book trailers last year in our explore reading classes. It was received well by the students and they were able to be creative with the books that they read. It was a great success. Good luck!

    Have a great beginning of school

    I love the idea of making book trailers! I would love to know how it works with younger kids, but I'm a little nervous about trying with first graders... maybe we'll wait until the end of the year. :)
