Final Project: A Useful tool for Mrs. Kistler! Here is her wish: " I would like SHORT snippets of students talking informally about some of the best books they’ve read this year. It could be in any format - just short blurbs I could run on our screen in the library & maybe include some during our Fall library orientations. The key is to get them talking about books they enjoy :) They could have fun with it--- film in unique locations (the park) or even easier, use the green screen and then search for and provide either a photo of the book cover for their background or a cool setting that represents their book or series." 1.
