Using iMovie for Digital Storytelling

For my film making debut, I (semi) proudly present to you, my Scarlet Letter Book Trailer:





Honestly, this was exhausting to create, but overall a pretty fun experience. Would I have my students do this for a class project? No, not as a requirement. Too many areas for major malfunction and confusion. If they're familiar with the process, then by all means, I would gladly give them creative control and the opportunity to use this as a form of alternative assessment. 

On the other hand, I will most likely use this myself as an instructional aid. Probably at least once per semester. I think students really enjoy this type of presentation, and it really engages their senses. People are so visual, and this helps grasp students' attention and excite them about reading a book that, otherwise, they'd turn their noses up at thinking, "Ew, Puritans."
