Creating Book Trailers
Melissa Hall--Library Media Specialist--HHS9
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.

Steps to Follow Check out and read a book from Hebron
9th Grade Center. Think about the things that you like about
the book. What emotions are portrayed by the
characters or by the story? Think of how you can make a movie to
interest someone in reading your book. Think in pictures.
