Book
Trailers are another excellent way for active readers to respond to the
books in their lives. Essentially, book trailers are short videos that promote
books, much as music videos promote CDs and singles. Librarian and Media
Specialist Michelle Harclerode has created an excellent wiki-based website
called Book
Trailers for Readers explaining book trailers and providing teachers
and students with many resources and ideas for producing their own! What
a great way to spread the word about the books that matter to you while
learning some multimedia skills. I invite you to send links to your book
trailers and we will feature them on the main Bookhooks page!
