BOOM! BAM! POW! BOOK TRAILERS TO THE RESCUE!

Creating a book trailer was a complex process to begin. The problem was that I didn't know exactly where to start. Initially, I pondered several novels I had read as a young adult to create a book trailer; however, I decided to use a comic book! X-Men was the first choice for me because I am a childhood fan and because of several parallels that have been drawn between the X-Men universe and the civil rights movements in the United States. In the future, I would love to create a unit that uses Marvel's X-Men to navigate and explore what it means to be "other" in society. I created a book trailer highlighting X-Men: First Class Vol. 1.

First, I am an Apple user outside of work, so I decided to explore iMovie, and I can tell you that I was not disappointed. The layout and design of the iMovie software felt intuitive to use.

Additionally, I use extensions more often to complete design tasks. For example, remove.bg is a website that can remove image backgrounds, and I used the website to produce the isolated image of Professor X with a black background. Super helpful!

I selected several images from a digital copy of the comic that conveyed character meaning, identification, and action highlights to entice viewers. I took these images and inserted them into my digital storyboard. This process was not as easy as it sounds! It took several prototypes of the trailer before the image sequence matched the selected music's tempo. From there, it was just fine-tuning the video until everything flowed right. This will help promote books and reading materials to students and staff when a physical presence may not be possible.

The challenge was introducing the plot line and characters concisely in a memorable way without giving away the story. Or why read it right? A compelling book trailer uses minimal text, fast-moving images, and a sensible music selection. I hope you enjoyed the book trailer as much as I enjoyed making it.

*Hint Hint- I liked making it A LOT!

Look, no judgments ok. I'm not saying they watch TV all day but I am saying that we also need time to do our shit, so TV helps me accomplish that other stuff. Whatever you need to make days go by smoother Mommas, the current state of the world lends itself to be quite overwhelming and we need to do as much as we can without driving ourselves coo-coo bananas. So hit the bowl if it makes you feel less anxious, even if only till the next kid starts to scream😜😜😜 ❤️❤️❤️❤️🌳🌳🌳💨💨💨😎😎😎#teachersofinstagram #elementaryschool #teachersfollowteachers #iteachtoo #elementaryart #elementaryteacher #teacherlife #teacher #elementaryartteacher #elementary #school #artteacher #elementary_school #teachersofig #artteachersofinstagram #teacherspayteachers #elementaryschoolcounselor #elementarylibrary #elementaryeducation #iteachfirst #education #schoolcounselor #elementaryschooldays #elementaryfriends #lifeofateacher #PotSmokingMoms #psmpodcast #podcast https://www.instagram.com/p/B-H0fQthzDj/?igshid=h7na60rpuupe

Book club is about to start again soon, and with it some inspired new reads for all of you this year. But before that I thought I'd share something just plain fun and silly, with a surprisingly seed of truth! "No Peacocks!: A Feathered Tale of Three Mischievous Foodies" (2018) by Robin Newman, illustrated to humourous effect by Chris Ewald, is a giggly delight. Based on the real-life peacocks that live at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in NYC, who have been known to go wandering around the neighbourhood, this fictionalized account of the birds' adventurous seeking of food more exciting than birdseed will have kids in stitches. A fun read-aloud, with some interesting photos and information in the back about the real life peacocks of St. John's. ⚫ ⚫ ⚫ #noodlenutskidsbooks #nopeacocks #robinnewman #chrisewald #skyponypress #cathedralofstjohnthedivine #peacocks #peacocksofinstagram #reading #magicofchildhood #kidslit #primaryschool #catholicschool #teachersofinsta #kidsbookstagram #picturebooks #elementarylibrary #readtokids https://www.instagram.com/p/B680c8UH2sb/?igshid=2aba3crfxx8y

How I am feeling after my first @scholasticinc warehouse sale where I was tasked with choosing one book for every student at my school. 95 minutes and $3,400 later I had selected 700 books... Also grateful the kids have stopped making the cubebots dab all the time! #books4yourkids #library #librarylife #elementaryschool #elementarylibrary #elementarylibrarian #bookjoy #bookstagram #booksforkids #scholastic #bookfair #warehousesale #kidsbookstagram #cubebot @cubebot

Can’t say the same for myself, but it looks like my fiction section survived the summer…

mrs.mounceslibrary -- This just arrived and it is adorable!! Another win from the Click, Clack, Moo series!! ❤️ Little Duck is so excited for Valentine’s Day! She makes cards for everyone, and also decorates the farm with streamers, lights, balloons, hearts, the works! The animals are so ready to celebrate and dance but when an unexpected guest shows up, will they still be in the party mood or will Little Duck’s Valentine party be ruined? A great story of friendship, coming together, and that things, people, or animals aren’t always what they seem. ❤️ #librarian #librarians #librariansofinstagram #librariansfollowlibrarians #elementarylibrary #library #libraries #librariesofinstagram #librariesfollowlibraries #books #bookstagram #newbook #clickclackmoo #clickclackmooiloveyou

Oh, the frustration of being a tiny human, when your parents FINALLY let you try doing stuff for yourself, and motor control and lack of skill means you just can't seem to do anything as well as you'd like! In "Amy Wu and the Perfect Bao" (2019) by Kat Zhang (with spectacularly evocative, adorable illustrations by Charlene Chua), little Amy loves bao - delicious dumplings - more than anything, and is determined to make ones as plumply perfect as those her parents and grandmother make. So why must it be so darn difficult?! Sent to me for review by the publisher as part of the #FindMeStories_Bestof2019 Picture Books initiative, but recommended entirely based on my own massive enjoyment of the story, "Amy Wu" gets two thumbs up from me! ⚫ ⚫ ⚫ #noodlenutskidsbooks #amywuandtheperfectbao #katzhang #charlenechua #cookingwithkids #cookingwithkidsisfun #kidswhocook #fearlesskids #cookingwithfamily #kidsinthekitchen #learnathome #homeschoolcooking #elementaryteacher #elementarylibrary #childrenbook #picturebook https://www.instagram.com/p/B5LqCDynfn3/?igshid=lvu0gah2n7tf

Dishonesty

Sometimes I'm tempted to put old books on the new book shelf so that kids will check them out.
