Assignment 4: Book Trailers! Due Wednesday April 30

As always, we library folks want to promote literacy and books! One of the newest ways to do this is to make book trailers (like movie trailers, but with books.) "In a world.... [cue classic movie trailer voice guy]." Then we post them on Youtube, on our website, and anywhere else to generate interest!

Check out these videos and book trailers for ideas and inspiration:

Also check out what previous iLibrary students have made! Click here


Now that you've looked at a few online, it's time to create your own book trailers using iMovie! Choose a book that you like- fiction preferably, as it meshes well with the trailer theme, but anything will work. 

Here is a great 3 part tutorial that can help you get started. Please see the page on the blog entitled "Book Trailer Rubric" for marking criteria.





Ms. McLean or Mr. Bridges will help you too! You'll have to use a Mac for the book trailers. When you're done, we will upload them to our Youtube channel for all to see!
Have fun!!
