Trailer Thursday #183 (Wolf Hollow by Lauren Wolk)






Wolf Hollow by Lauren Wolk
(Student-Created Trailers by Mr. Andrus' Fourth Grade Readers)

*One of my goals this year to promote reading, books, and literacy was to expose my readers to the idea of "trailers".  

*Our most recent read aloud was Wolf Hollow by Lauren Wolk.  I share this novel with my fourth graders during our historical fiction unit.  It fit perfectly and I was able to point out so many elements of historical fiction while reading the story to my students.  

*After we finished the book, I asked some of the readers to create a book trailer to capture the "essence" of the story.  I was excited to see what they could come up with.

*Our goal is to create a book trailer a week that we can share with our classmates.  

*We are collecting all the trailers we make and putting them into our Schoology Site.

*Each student will have their own album where they can keep all of their trailers.  Then the other readers will be able to browse those trailers and find a new book to read.   

*As the year progresses we will learn what should be included, and not included, in the trailer to make them the best they can be.
