Title Talks are monthly projects that students complete based on a book they read that month.
SPRING TITLE TALK - DUE TBD
Description of Project
Sell the Story is an opportunity to create a commercial that will persuade others to want to read your book.
Directions
- Create a 2 – 4 minute commercial that tells the title, author’s name, and gives a brief summary of your book.
- Include at least 2 reasons, supported with examples/evidence, why your classmates should read your book. Even if you did not like the book, your goal is to persuade others to want to read it. (You can tell us you didn’t like it after.)
- This project can be done in two ways. You may create a video commercial, or present it live using PowerPoint/ google Presentation, or hand drawn and colored story boards that we will display under the document camera.
Tips and Ideas
- There are lots of free and easy ways to make a video commercial! Most digital cameras have a video function that you can use to record your commercial. To edit it, Mac users can use iMovie and PC users can try Windows Movie Maker. Or you can try a free video editing program like www.wevideo.com or clipchamp.com or spark.adobe.com.
- You could also use a free screen capture program like www.techsmith.com/screen-captur to record your PowerPoint or google Presentation on your computer. Remember, you can also present your commercial live.
