"Nothing But The Truth" by Avi

I liked this book, but unless students understand satire well enough, I don't think they'll enjoy it as much as teachers will.  I like other books a lot better.  But, here is the book preview video that I made for my students.

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!
