Dear 3b,
This is your very own blog. Let’s use it to present your favorite books to the rest of the world. We’ll do this by posting a little video for each book. The easiest way to do this is by using eyejot.com. With eyejot you’ll be able to show us the book, you’ll talk about the main characters and their problems… You might show us some pictures or some props to help your viewers understand the plot better.
Here are a few tips to get started:
- Introduce the main characters and their problem: Show pictures or dress up like your character.
- Show us where the story plays. Pictures always help.
- Sum up the MAIN events in the story. Do not confuse your viewers with too many details. Plot diagrams or a few simple drawings might help.
- Make your viewers interested in the book. Give enough info about the characters and their problem but do not give away any spoilers. Drop hints — show important objects …
- You might want to work with a partner and set up your video as an interview with a character — or between two readers….
- Be creative…
If you find eyejot too confining use MyBrainshark.com (with powerpoint slides) or Present.Me (powerpoint and webcam) or produce your video with your mobile phone or tablet and upload it to youtube. All we need is an embed code …
Happy blogging…
