Book Trailer Wokshop: What Makes a Good Book Trailer?

Resources and guides for building book trailers with students.

The best way to learn how to make your own trailer is to evaluate other trailers.

It is important to critically review several book trailers before attempting to create your own.

When you are viewing book trailers, think about the following:

– Did it grab your attention?

– Do you want to share it with someone?

– Do you want to watch it again?

– Most importantly, are you going to check out the book now?
