Videotape Book Report - Students create a "commercial" for a book they read. Set up a video camera in the back of the classroom, provide brief instruction on how to use it (Post a sheet of simple instructions for reinforcement.), and have each child videotape himself or herself presenting a 30-second "commercial for the book read. In the first 30 seconds of the commercial, students should tell what is good about the book. The next 2 minutes will feature the student reading a favorite passage from the book -- a passage that might motivate others to want to read the book. You might make a few copies of the video and send it home with a different student each night so parents can view the children's work and gather ideas for books to give as gifts!
