Do you love reading and technology? Do you love recommending books to others? In this course, students will learn how to create dynamic and engaging "Book Hooks" book using Adobe Spark on Chromebooks. We will explore the elements of movie and book trailers and have a shared experience creating one together. Then, students will have the opportunity to choose a favorite book, write the script for a book hook, choose images and sound, and edit the project. Once trailers are complete, we'll have a viewing party and watch the book hooks together, popcorn and all!
