= = =Unit 4, Unit 8, and Unit 11= =Digital Book Trailers (DBT)=

Instructions
From one of the books you have read so far, you will create a digital book trailer, using any digital resource you would like. I have included examples in [|Livebinders], and the student book talks utilize PhotoStory 3 (can download for free), Animoto (let me know and I will get you a PROMO CODE) or MovieMaker (comes installed on Windows computers). If you use the above, you need to find pictures and SAVE them to a separate folder---DO NOT COPY & PASTE- it won't work! I have provided rubrics for your use and to help you with what to include in your DBT. You will not be graded using these rubrics. I would like the DBT to be at least one minute long and no longer than four minutes. You want to include the book on the first and last slide. You also want to give credit on a slide where you got your images from. You may want to end the DBT in some kind of question, to keep their interest and say "What happens next?" Our students have found it helpful to use a storyboard to help them visually map out the material they envision playing on the screen during the trailer. Do not tell the whole story, use minimal text, have the pictures tell the story and the music is important for setting the mood. Below is a link for music and images you may want to use. I left last year's students' pages up as examples, they gave me permission to share them (A. Abel. A. Crotty, K. Clay, K. Kiesel. M. Timmes, and J Roth).

There is a separate page (**Embedding on Wikispaces**) on the wiki which will help you with videos and instructions on how to EMBED your project on your page.

If using Glogster, you can't do the above because it is a giant poster. Also with the comic resources, you will not need to cite because they provide the characters for you. You will be creating a total of 3 DBTs for this course and I would like you to use a different resource each time you create a DBT.

Embedding help
Once you have created your digital book trailer, you will embed it on your wiki page. You can embed it as a widget or you can link it. I have created PowerPoint screen shots to walk you through the embed process on Wikispaces.
