Book Trailers

Often at the end of the year I share a lot of book trailers with students to get them excited about reading over the summer. Here are some that are favorites with various grades.

(not truly billed as a book trailer, but it works)

Also, we will be watching the Ninja! trailer that GeekDad revealed last week here. There is so much fun to be had with these trailers. Of course depending on the interests of my classes I have also showed a few others like False Prince, 8th Grade Superzero, The Meaning of Maggie, The School for Good and Evil #2 and more. I love seeing students adding titles to their TBR (to be read) lists. Yay summer reading!

Tuesday Trailer

I love this video. Matt de la Peña shares his writing journey and talks about The Living.

This is a fantastic trailer. It totally makes me want to read The Meaning of Maggie.

And thanks to Mr. Schu, I now know about Beekle.

Tuesday Trailers

I do not know how it is that I have never read the books in The Fairyland Series, but after watching the trailer, I think I am going to have to get right on that.

Here are a few more fun trailers that I noticed on Twitter this week.

And the newest one...

Book Trailers

In Jen Malphy's class today she shared some of the book trailers that her students have created.  Making trailers is a great creativity opportunity.  They are also just a lot of fun to watch.  You can visit the book trailers on her site and learn how to help students make their own.  There is another fantastic place to see book trailers.  Mr. Schu Reads posts tons of engaging trailers.  I love stopping by his blog just to see the amazing trailers he finds.  Mr. Schu is so excited about books and reading and he finds all kinds of fun trailers like this one

My School Shoes

I am so excited about Pete and his school shoes.  Last week I finally met Pete the Cat.
He is truly rockin' in those shoes.  Hopefully I can find a great pair myself.  School is just around the corner and I know my students are going to have a blast getting to know Pete.  People sure seemed to love him at this library visit.
