Our 5th grade classes have been hard at work creating book trailers. Students had quite a few options on how to proceed with this project, but most have been using iMovies on the iPads. The first step in making the trailers was to learn how to storyboard their ideas. In addition, students are responsible for correctly crediting any photos that they did not take themselves or music that was not available in the app. We will also be uploading the videos, creating QR codes that will take you to the videos, and posting the QR codes in library copies of the books and in the library (and possibly other locations) all in an effort to spread the word about the books we love. We also hope to blog about the process and embed the videos into the student blogs.
