Music Video Book Reports
Read your book. List an important scene from the book. Tell who was in the scene, where it took place and what happened. If you are working in a group have the group choose one scene for the entire group to work on. Every person in the group will download the film of this scene to use in their video.

Filming:
Before filming the scene complete the following:

Who: List the characters involved in the scene and which student will play each character. Where: Choose a place in or around school to film. This could also be accomplished using green screne. Props/costumes: List what the characters will need to wear or carry. Many things can be drawn on paper and look very real. Assign a student from your group to bring the necessary props/costumes.

Song:
Your song will have two parts: You will have background music that conveys the theme of your book and you will write your own lyrics.

Song lyrics:
Rhyme, rhythm, mood You can use the rhyming dictionaries to help with your song. In your song include the book title, author, and main character. Give information about the main scene your group is filming in your song.

Background song:
Make sure your song has no lyrics! It must match the theme of the book.
