Our Outstanding Book Trailers

This term the very talented Room 7 decided that we would like to encourage more reading within our school. So as a class we thought long and hard and brain stormed ideas of ways that we could get the whole school reading. What we came up with was that we have such amazing books in our schools library that we need to advertise these more and what better way to do this than to make book trailers.

So Mr Ross set everyone in the class a task of over a week long period to complete one reading book from our library that we would enjoy reading and could advertise to the school. Our next step was to compile a load of photos that we found on the internet that match the story we painted in our heads from the book and that could also tell our story without giving to much away.  After this the real fun began we got to go onto Imovie and select a trailer theme that matched our story. There we so many themes to pick from there was adventure, scary, teen, adrenaline plus so many more. Then the most complicated part of the book trailer was left till last. We had to sequence all our pictures we gathered together and add really good descriptive language to give our audience a little taste of what our books are about without giving any of the important parts of the story away.  Below are just a couple of examples of some of the book trailers we made.
