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

*My class has been lucky enough to be able to connect with Nora on several occasions this year.  We have had two Skype visits and she also visited us in person.

*I decided to read Nora's novel "Anything But Typical" after her visit.  I normally read more recent books, but knew this was such a powerful novel that it had to be shared with my fourth graders.

*Each student created a trailer to capture the "essence" of the story either alone or with a partner.  

*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.
