Using Technology
Book Trailers
Make a video book trailer for your favourite book from the
2018 CBCA Notable list and screen it in the school library
or the classroom or as a parent showcase.
Check out the following resources to help you:
For teachers: Book Report Alternative: Creating Reading

Alternatively these book trailers can be uploaded to a school,

for other children to read.
Family Event: Short Film Festival
Shine the spotlight on Reading and Writing
This is a wonderful school event that can focus on reading,
writing and the use of technology and become a showcase for
parents and the local community.
Project options (choose one):
• Create a short film that features a “treasure.” (The treasure can
be nominated such as a bbok, banana, umbrella etc) Students will
need to write the script and then produce the film.
• Small groups can work collaboratively to adapt a picture book
into a screen play, create the props and costumes, then dramatise
while being filmed.
• Create a short film of one of the notable or shortlisted books.
