trailer for the Caldecott book

Research the Caldecott and Newbery awards.

Select and read one book honored by each of the awards (two books total).

Develop a book trailer for these two books. You can create one trailer for the Caldecott book and one for the Newberry, or you can create one trailer that has both books in it.

Write the book trailer script 

Include the following elements in the book trailer: 

• A hook to get listeners or viewers interested in the award-winning books
• The title of the books, authors’ names, and illustrators, if any
• Background on the awards and reasons why each book is deserving of the award
• Genre of each book and characteristics of the book that place it within the genre
• Synopsis of each book
• The audience and/or scenario to select this particular book
• An ending teaser so listeners or viewers will want to pick up the books and read them

Note: The book trailers should be between 3 and 4 minutes in length.
