1. Creating Book Trailers

2. What is a Book Trailer? It is similar to a movie trailer. It is a short video showing information about the book to get someone else interested in reading it. It should not tell the whole story. It should especially not give away the ending of the book. Melissa Hall--Library Media Specialist--HHS9
