Book Trailers for 2011-2012 Eliot Rosewaters!!!

First question....What are Eliot Rosewaters???
Eliot Rosewater (Rosie's) nominees are books carefully selected as the 20-25 best Young Adult books in Indiana. High Schoolers around the state read the books and submit their votes. In May, all votes will be tallied and the top book will receive the actual Eliot Rosewater Award.

Last year, the 2010-2011 Rosie Award went to Hunger Games....AWESOME book!!

Next question...What are book trailers???

Think movie trailers, only for books!  These can be created by book companies, librarians, or even individual students that want to tell the world about the book!  Sometimes they include a series of pictures and words or short sentences...other times they actually use actors to play out scenes, just like a movie.

If you want to learn how to do this, just ask!!
