January/February Media Center Challenge
Create a book trailer for a book that you have read this year. Be sure your book trailer is similar to a movie trailer. You want to convince people to read the book without giving away too much about the book. You want to leave them hanging and wanting to read the book to find out what happens.
In order to qualify for the prize, you must do the following:
1) Completely fill out and turn in the planning sheet,
2) Have a works cited page in your trailer for the images and quotes you use in your video,
3) Have someone peer edit your video to ensure you have followed all the Oak Ridge Non--negotiables (Capital letters, punctuation, correct spelling, etc),
4) Fill out the Google Form with a link to the video you created. If you make a book trailer from the list of Mark Twain or Truman Preliminary Nominees, your book trailer could be submitted to the Missouri Association of School Librarians statewide contest. See Mrs. Neal for more details.
You may use a personal video creation tool or WeVideo to complete this challenge. If you are going to use your school account to create the video, you must join WeVideo by clicking on the link below (WeVideo Checkout) to join the Media Center Challenge in WeVideo (only after completing the planning template).
