Next, students were given a graphic organizer to plan the content for their trailer. Once students had done some planning for their trailers, they were introduced to Powtoon and given an overview of the tool. Students were also introduced to sites for sourcing public-domain images such as Pixabay and Unsplash.
Students then spent additional work sessions putting together graphics, text, animations and music to bring their plans to life! Some of the book trailers are now complete and published on YouTube (with permission).
