Hunger Games Video Take 1

This is my first book preview I made for the book Hunger GamesI will probably be making an updated one with pictures of the actual cast.

Making a book preview is an excellent way to ENGAGE students and get them interested in a book.  All videos that I post to this blog are made using Windows Movie Maker.  Use a fun song that matches the theme of the novel, and you've hooked your students into a book that they might actually want to read!

  1. This was great, Rachel! I am hoping to be able to do something like this for this year. My kids really got excited about reading last year because I had a HUGE classroom library. My kids never wanted to put their books down. I hope to keep that excitement going this year by having more guided reads. This video is a perfect idea to introduce a book. Thanks for sharing!
