Thing #5 Share the New Information

After rereading several online blogs about creating book trailers, I noted that most agreed on these three points about book trailers --> they should be between 30 seconds to 3 minutes long, contain a credits page, and have no "homemade" dialog. I went back to the drawing board with my Photo Story deleting the humdrum dialog, inserting text, adding a few more pictures, and turning up the audio volume. Much better results without the droning monologue!



1. What tags (other that the required sbisdL2P3) did you add to your project so that it may be searched. That includes the tags you will add to your #5 Post.
The tags I used: Duke Kahanamoku, Ellie Crowe, Hawaii, Olympics, Photo Story, sbisdL2P3, surfer, surfing, swimming, and Texas Bluebonnet Award.
2. Who is the audience for your project? Can the project be adapted for others or other needs?
The audience for my project is teachers and elementary intermediate students. Since all of the 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders will be participating in the Bluebonnet program, they will be especially interested in viewing and creating their own book trailers. Both teachers and students can use this blog for displaying original work, discussing Bluebonnet books read, and learning about the process of creating a book trailer.
3. Describe how to find your project other than your L2P3 blog.
You can find it on YouTube by searching any of the above tags. The most fun was creating my very own Library YouTube Channel! All videos my students and I upload can be stored there for future viewing and for use in other Google sites to be shared among teachers, students, and grade levels. When searching using the sbisdL2P3 tag, a collection of videos our group has posted so far appeared. Amazing!
