Grade 4 · Reading · Lesson 33

Create Book Trailers or Posters

A book trailer or poster is a visual way to promote a book — much like a movie trailer or film poster. Creating one requires you to read deeply: you need to understand theme, mood, character, and plot well enough to choose what will make someone else want to read the book.

1Analyze a book to identify the most compelling scenes or ideas for a visual promotion
2Select quotes, images, and details that capture theme and mood
