The past few weeks in library have been very productive for 5th graders. We have been busily working on creating book trailers for the books we read over the summer. First, we watched some exemplar book trailers created by other elementary school students.
Then, we carefully created storyboards and wrote the script for our book trailers.
Then we discussed how to find good images by selecting careful search terms and narrowing our search. Students used iPads to find and save the pictures they felt best represented their books. Then, they used the Book Creator app to create their trailers. Most of our trailers are still a work in a progress, but a few students have already completed their work! Check out the finished products below, and stay tuned for many more to come! Great work, 5th grade!
