Creating a Book Trailer

Author: Linda LeConey

What we are learning today:

We will be learning about book trailers by viewing sample trailers created by other students.  As you view the videos, think about what strategies the students used to create their book trailers. In school, you will be creating your own video book trailers on the iPad.

Your mission:

  • View the "How to Steal a Dog Video" and at least 3 other book trailer videos of your choice.
  • You can choose from the book trailer videos I have provided
    OR
  • Choose from additional book trailers on the website link provided at the end of the videos.  (Scroll down the page for the link
  • Be ready to brainstorm ideas for your own trailer with your book groups tomorrow.  

How to Steal a Dog Book Trailer

This book trailer is required viewing, The 3 other videos are your choice!

This book trailer is different from the other trailers because the students created a short film instead of just a narrated book trailer with just pictures. This is similar to what we will be doing. You will all be actors or narrators in your own book trailer that we will be creating with the iPads.
