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.

Learner Analysis:

a. Age/Gender: 5-6 years old; 8 males, 6 females

b. Cultural Background: American, 90% Caucasian, 10% Other
c. Educational Level: Kindergarten
d. Special Needs/Accommodations: N/A
e. Specific Entry Skills:
ELAGSEKRL1: With prompting and support, ask and answer questions about key details
in a text.
f. Motivation – Keller’s ARCS Model (Describe how you will integrate each
component into your book trailer to get your audience’s attention.)
· Attention – Inquiry: Have you ever felt like giving up? Have you ever felt something was
impossible to do?
· Relevance – Familiarity: What experiences do you have with feeling like you can’t achieve
something? What were those things?
· Confidence – Personal Control: students choose their own way of giving advice to the main
character, encouraging them not to give up.
· Satisfaction – Positive Consequences: Verbal praise for advice given to main character

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.
· Newbery Medal Book Awards-
· Theodore Seuss Geisel Awards
· Caldecott Medal Book Awards
· DeBary Children’s Science Book Awards
· Coretta Scott King Book Awards Firebird by Misty Copeland
· Golden Kite Awards
· Young Adult Book Awards
3. If you cannot access the book you selected through your school library media center,
check your local public library. If it is a new book, not in anyone’s collection, choose a
different one. You do not need to buy a book for this assignment.
