From Book to Trailer

This blog chronicles student work from a literature study to the production of digital book trailers. It details the planning and
implementation of a cross-curricular project-based learning unit that offers a creative alternative to the book report!

From Book to Trailer


The post-reading task was to review the stop points and sketch a quick storyboard. Each student met with three other individuals in the class to share their storyboard and view the others. From these discussions, the students formed a production team of 4-6 individuals. They finalized a collaboratively modified storyboard and had it approved by the teacher for the next stage of development. 

From the storyboard they developed and practiced a skit. They added props and costumes to set the scene and did a final rehearsal, for approval, before filming. 

Group and individual conferencing served as both an Assessment As Learning with the question "Does your trailer pitch your book and its story well?" and an Assessment of Learning, for Media Literacy, with the question, "What elements of an effective trailer have you included?".
