One of the projects I have done with students this year is creating Book Trailers. The latest book trailer releases come to us from the Decker Colony School Grades 7 & 9 class. This group of students began by planning their trailers with a graphic organizer. We viewed some sample book trailers (both professionally-created and student-created) and set criteria for their work. Next, students had an overview tutorial of WeVideo. We reviewed the basics of how to use this video creation tool, which we are currently accessing as part of our Edwin pilot. Students eagerly got started with this video creation project.
When I returned to visit this classroom last week, it was evident that students had worked diligently to create book trailers which convey the mood and message of their chosen novels. I was impressed by their video design skills, including their choice of music, images and fonts to enhance their trailers. These book trailers sure do the job of hooking a viewer - I want to read them all now that I've watched these!
