House on Mango Street book trailer
by Brandi Gates & Heather Eaton
I can't believe I dreaded this assignment! For some reason, I thought it would be very time consuming and difficult when in actuality, it took me back to my high school days. I decided to take broadcast journalism my senior year of high school to fill my schedule. Little did I know how much fun it would be. Don't get me wrong - it was a lot of work, but the final product made it all worth while. We used a program called Avid Cinema. It was very similar to Windows Movie Maker (but still more advanced even in 2001). I found my knack for broadcasting wasn't in front of the camera or behind the camera, but instead in the editing process. For this reason, I was completely enthralled with this assignment.
Ok - so I may be a complete nerd, but if I had this much fun with this, then I can imagine what my students would do. I can't wait to see their creativity exposed through media such as this!

Brandi thank you for the comments about our trailer, I was pleased to read that you enjoyed it.
