BOOK TRAILER for INDEPENDENT READING A book trailer is similar to a movie trailer; its intent is to **//persuade//** viewers to read the book. Therefore, the idea is to “hook” the viewers by providing a few key details about the characters, conflict and events in the book, but it is important to not give away the whole story, especially the ending!

The book trailer should include:
 * CONTENT:**
 * The title of the book and the author’s name
 * The student’s name
 * Text that presents some key components of the book (ex: characters, conflict, events, etc.)
 * Pictures (and/or video) that support the key components
 * Music
 * Credits for the pictures and music

The completed book trailers will be posted on a website for everyone to view, and therefore it is very important to follow copyright laws. __IT IS NOT LEGAL TO PUBLISH WORK ON THE INTERNET THAT USES PICTURES FROM GOOGLE OR DOWNLOADS FROM ITUNES!__ You may use pictures and video clips that you have personally taken, but if you are using the internet PLEASE ONLY USE PICTURES AND MUSIC FROM THE FOLLOWING SITES which legally allow the use of their material: [] [] [] [] []
 * COPYRIGHTS:**

The book trailer should be 1:00 – 1:30 minutes long. It will be assessed for content, coherence (i.e. logical flow), persuasiveness and creative elements. (Please see the rubric on Edline.) It will be worth 50 class work points.
