Drums, Girls and Dangerous Pie


For this assignment, I chose to create a book trailer for the novel we will be reading in a few weeks because my Web Quest is all about the novel study. Animoto is something I've used before for other things, but not for use in the classroom. I truly believe that this tool is an incredible way to capture student interest and motivate them to take charge of their own learning; especially when they have to be really careful about which pictures to choose and the caption to write due to time and character limitations. This would be a great final project for novel study, poetry presentations (so the students don't have to read theirs aloud and be embarrassed), as well as for persuasive techniques. I look forward to using this in class very soon!
