Becky O'Neil is a 3rd grade ESOL teacher at Auburn Elementary School, in the Salem-Keizer School District. After taking a video editing for iPad class that the district put on, Becky decided to have her students retell some of their favorite read aloud stories as movie trailers. Using an iPad, the students shot and edited their 1 and 2 minute films.

These trailers are very engaging for students. It is easy and accessible, even for the youngest student. Below is an example of a book trailer a kinder student made, with the support of a parent volunteer.
