The Book Thief

Book trailers are very similar to movie trailers, except they advertise the book instead of the movie. I think they are a great idea. Students can produce them and watch them in order to pick their next book. I had a hand in making the below book trailer about The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. I really enjoyed the project. It really forces you to pick out the most important aspects of the novel in order to share with others. If you really liked the book, you really want your book trailer to be good so that others will want to read the book as well. This is a great project to do with students at the conclusion of a book!
