Today we will begin working on a book trailer for our last social issue book. We will begin by filling out a storyboard to plan our trailer. I will model with Amal Unbound, and then have you work on it for your own book. All this week, we will use InVideo to create trailers following the storyboard and rubric. Movie trailers will be shared on Monday, March 7th.
***If the Invideo link does not allow you to create your own book trailer, please fill out the storyboard, return your last book and pick a new one to read for the week. Each day, pick one slide from the template notebook to complete under book 3 in your paper or digital notebook.
