Challenge 4 BOOK TRAILER COMPETITION

Do you like to watch movie trailers? Do they help you decide if you want to see the movie or not? Movie trailers offer a short insight into the story of the movie and give you a taste of what it's all about. They offer you brief information about the characters, the setting and the plot and if you like what you see you then go along to watch the whole thing. A book trailer is the same thing except about a book! A book trailer offers you a visual insight into the characters, the setting and the plot of a book to entice you to go to your library and read the whole story. And it combines two important elements for 21st century learners - reading and technology!

The challenge is for you to create your own book trailer about a book that you have read and liked and would recommend to others. It's kind of like a computer based book review! Watch the 'How to Make a Book Trailer' PhotoPeach before you start. You can use any of the following applications to create your book trailer - [|Animoto], [|Prezi],[| PhotoPeach] or [|Photostory 3]. Photostory 3 is available on all the computers at school or you can download it for free from microsoft. The following sites are also useful: Michelle Harclerode's [|Book Trailers for Readers] site Anne Weaver's [|Reading Power] blog School Library Journal's [|Book Trailer contest entries] YouTube [|Children's Book Trailers]
