After reading the first of several books in our "Battle of the Books" contest, 4th grade Reading/Language Arts students were challenged to create video book trailers. Each student wrote a script which was voiced in Garage Band. Background music was added. Students selected photos and/or clipart from pre-approved sites to accompany their scripts and uploaded them into Animoto. The finished product includes a photo credit silde if pictures outside the Animoto program were used. Some students took their own photos or used personal drawings. Finished trailers are published on the 4th grade website. We may include them in the school's library catalog.
