Movie Maker: Book Teaser

Looking over the plays, novels, and short stories we have read this semester, choose one to sign up and create a “book teaser.” This project is similar to the movie teasers that play at the theatres to introduce new movies that are coming to theatres. In your production, you will create a 2-3 minute movie maker that, when shown, will entice other students to read your choice.

Please make sure that your project includes the following:

1. Title and author of work
2. Music that is appropriate to the work
3. Graphics (pictures, etc.) that are appropriate to the work
4. Enough of the plot to garner interest in the work without giving away the ending
5. Your name and any sources you used (including the actual work)

Suggestions:
1. You may wish to include quotations from the work
2. You may wish to include reviews from book review groups/critics
3. You may wish to include information on the author
4. You may wish to include a historical context to the work

Be able to answer questions about your project when it is presented to the class. We will vote on the three best movie maker projects for ten bonus points.
