ABSTRACT

The ability to communicate effectively—both verbally and in writing— is crucial to our students during their time in our classrooms and beyond. Teachers, especially, utilize communication in their profession, from teaching concepts to a class, to communicating with parents, administrators, and other stakeholders, and more. In this project, students will create a book trailer that summarizes a book's plot and convinces others as to why they should read the book. Students should not give too much away in their trailers, but they should have enough interesting information to make someone watching the trailer curious about the book. Students may use a video-editing application, such as iMovie, One True Media, or Video Toolbox, to create their trailers.
