Lights! Camera! Action! Movie trailers have long been a vehicle for generating excitement about an upcoming film. Book trailers have the same type of appeal for introducing and creating excitement about books. This blog was created to demonstrate the step-by-step process involved in creating student-generated book trailers. The use of energetic and compelling images, text, and music in a book trailer engages students creating high interest and excitement about new books.
Using Surfer of the Century by Ellie Crowe, from the 2010-2011 Texas Bluebonnet Award list, my goal is to give teachers and students an opportunity to learn how to create a 2.0 readers advisory, instead of the usual book report, to motivate their students and peers to read. This blog will also be a vehicle by which to motivate my 3rd – 5th graders to read and enjoy the most recent Texas Bluebonnet Award nominees.
This topic will cover TEKS §126.3. Technology Applications for grades 3-5 as students learn to research, acquire, and evaluate electronic information, while complying with the district acceptable use policies and copyright law, and format the information into new knowledge and effective communication.
