Planning a Book Trailer
1. Identify the audience for your book trailer. Who are you designing this for? If you
are a teacher or media specialist, describe a group of your learners below. If you do not
work in a K-12 setting, send me an email and we can decide who your audience will be.

The audience for this book trailer will be primary grade students. Students will range

from ages 5-9, and can be in Kindergarten, 1st, or 2nd grades. Students can be both male and

female with an African American Cultural background. Students are are from a low income area,

attend a title 1 school, and receive free and reduced lunch. Students will require no special needs

or accommodations. Students will be able to ask and answer questions pertaining to the text.

Students will be able to make real life connections with the text.

Learner Analysis:

b. Cultural Background: African American, Low Income

e. Motivation – Keller’s ARCS Model (Describe how you will integrate each component
into your book trailer to get your audience’s attention.)
· Attention – I intend to spark students curiosity and grab their attention by presenting a

problem that exist within the text and asking them to think of ways to solve the problem.

· Relevance – I will make the story relevant to students by helping them make real life

connections.

· Confidence – I will encourage confidence within students by ensuring they have as much

background and supporting information surrounding the text as needed.

· Satisfaction – I will foster satisfaction by allowing students to take ownership of their

learning and allowing them to make and share real life connections in order to show

understanding.

2. Book Selection – The book you select needs to be an outstanding selection for readers
in the age group you have selected. Use the lists below to help you select an appropriate
book (again if you are not in K-12 send me an email and we will select a proper resource).
The book you select should be age and content appropriate for the audience you have
identified above. Once you have selected a book - place the title you have chosen next to the
award you selected it from.

different one. You do not need to buy a book for this assignment.
