TRAPPED

Holy smokes. This month we read Trapped by Michael Northrop (Scholastic Press, 2011), and I'll tell you this for free: I don't even need to write a little recap because the Bookshoppers did such an amazing job with their book trailers. Animoto.com allowed us to combine words, photos (most of which came from Flickr's creative commons search tool) and music* to produce a little taste of the book we read.

Citing your sources is always a tough but important part of creation -- these kids took to it like pros, and credited all the photos they used at the end of their videos.

Here we go!



NAIMA'S TRAPPED





SAM'S TRAPPED





KEVIN'S TRAPPED





JONAH'S TRAPPED





BETH'S TRAPPED (I went a different route and decided to focus on the trash can fire characters built in the book. Don't ask.)
