This was such a great resource to use with my sophomores in English class. Often times, book reports are the go-to for book projects, and this is such a creative alternative to doing a traditional book report. My students were able to show the whole class what their book was like and bring it to life and it was an enjoyable project for all of them. It comes with simple but effective instructions, handouts, and a rubric so they know what you, the teacher, will be looking for.

I used this with my Grade 8 students. At first I thought that creating a trailer that was 5-7 minutes long would be too involved, but they rose to the challenge and produced professional book trailers. They loved the process and really had to think critically about how to analyze characters and conflict in captivating ways. Thanks for this great resource.

We had a blast with this. We used it for a whole-class novel and my students could not get enough of their classmates' portrayals of each character. The reflection activity was a great way to round out this assignment and evaluate students' understanding of the novel.
