I’ve previously posted about the video book trailers we’ll be doing in class during the final week of school next week.
As a “warm-up” and for some low-stress practice, we’ve been having students make one minute Fotobabbles about their favorite books of the year. Students just go to Amazon, find the book, right-click on the image, left-click on “View image information” and then copy the “location.” They can then paste that url address into Fotobabble to get the front page of the book. Next, they use the outline I shared in that previous post to say their review.
You can see a some excellent examples at our class blog.
I’m adding this post to My Best Posts On Books: Why They’re Important & How To Help Students Select, Read, Write & Discuss Them.
Thanks Kyle-great warm up activity. I will add it to my book trailer livebinder for teachers. http://livebinders.com/edit?id=25301
