Book Reports can be kind of a drag. So, let’s make it into a ride. Using Minecraft or any other form of visual presentation – stop-motion, animation, live action video or graphic stills – take us on a roller coaster-like journey through three seminal scenes in your book. You pick the scenes, write the narration for this journey (only one voice), and bring us to a place where we won’t be able to resist reading the book ourselves.
