iMovie in the classroom

I have a new obsession, iMovie!  I was recently shown an iMovie trailer during a presentation and boy did my light bulb go off!  My kids could do summaries and act out or draw their books to make a trailer for a book.  They could make biographies or autobiographies...

Here are the summaries that my two classes made about the book Just A Dream by Chris Van Allsburg.

My second period's trailer:

So download iMovie and make your own trailer with your kiddos!  Feel free to share!!
