Students were given a choice of reading books as part of their class reading assignment and this then led to the formation of small reading groups. When the students had finished their books, each group was given the task of sharing their understanding of the main idea from the book.
After a discussion of the book and the main idea, the students first planned out the book trailers using a template for the layout. They then used the iMovie app and the Doink app on the iPads to create their photos and videos for inserting into iMovie.

Have students plan out the layout and design of the iMovie trailers before they begin inserting in the app. Keeping a list of photos helps facilitate the process.
