It is a creative way to engage students in the reading process. Because students are engaged by technology, teachers should include more classroom activities that allow students to utilize their technological skills. Book trailers, like movie trailers, are short snippets of the overall story presented in the book. Having students create book trailers requires them to select main points from the book that are representative of the whole story. It is a good way to have them analyze, synthesize, and summarize the material they read. Furthermore, it requires them to be creative as they try to "hook" their viewers. What a great way to achieve a higher level of learning! I find this activity to be quite fascinating. It is a creative way to engage students in the reading process.

You can find them all over the internet now, but here is a site that's featuring them on YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/booktrailers What an interesting way to get people interested in reading!
