Creating meaningful, engaging storytelling projects in your curriculum!

Don’t forget to submit your Digital Book Trailer Links by March 14, 2014 [|__Submit the link to your Digital Book Trailer Playlist here.__]

Description: Movies, TV shows, and product commercials all use teasers to get the audience to pay attention. Why not use the same strategy to encourage others to read books that are our absolute favorites! That is the purpose of this digital storytelling project, Digital Book Trailers!

Common Core Connections: > Use technology, including the Internet, to produce and publish writing and to interact and collaborate with others. > Create engaging audio recordings of stories or poems that demonstrate fluid reading at an understandable pace; add visual displays when appropriate to emphasize or enhance certain facts or details. > Include multimedia components (e.g., graphics, sound) and visual displays in presentations when appropriate to enhance the development of main ideas or themes. > Make strategic use of digital media (e.g., textual, graphical, audio, visual, and interactive elements) in presentations to enhance understanding of findings, reasoning, and evidence and to add interest.
