Grade 5 Book Trailers
What a Way to Celebrate Picture Book Month!
For the past few weeks, the 5th graders have been exploring and creating picture book trailers.
One
Julius, Baby of the World
If You Give a Mouse a Cookie
Alexander and the Horrible No Good Very Bad Day
The True Story of the Three Little Pigs
There is some learning to be done,
but I am really excited about this foray into book trailers!
The skinny on this mini-unit?
Week One:
The students were shown an exemplar book trailer, an exemplar story board for the book trailer and then sent off to find a favorite picture book. The students worked in pairs, after some brainstorming and negotiation they sat down with the chosen book to create the story board.
The next visit had the students establishing the organizing tools for the trailers - folders and a bibliography template -- and then searching in Creative Commons - Flickr to find photographs.
Week Three:
The final day involved an exploration of Animoto and the fun of putting the pieces together.
