      Book trailers are a way for students to show their understanding of a book in a visual way. It's also a great way for them to be creative and have fun!
  • The first step for students is creating a visual representation, or storyboard, of the video they hope to produce. The storyboard will help them clarify their topic and theme, and synthesize the information they hope to convey.

      Some great examples to use as a model for students when they are starting off.
  • In the classroom, book trailers are a fresh way for students to summarize what they have read while breaking out of the traditional book report format.
  • ow that a storyboard has been established, it’s time to put those tech skills to work! There are many software options for making a book trailer, including Photo Story and Windows Movie Maker, but for a truly theatrical experience, I prefer Apple’s iMovie.
  • I like to assign each student a role such as “film editor” or “art director” in order to make the project more personalized. You may also want to assign the role of “technical director” to an expert who can solve minor technical glitches.
  • What better way to celebrate student success than to have a screening party!
