TECHNONOVEL TECHNOLOGY PROJECT

PowerPoint Lesson Plans

Teacher Guide - Student Workbook - Resource Files

In this technology project, students create a marketing tool for a novel called a "book trailer". Similar in style to a movie trailer or teaser, an animated preview of the book is created to entice people to read.

Are you looking for a new way to do a book report? Have your students use detailed PowerPoint lesson plans to combine text, graphics, animation, transitions, and sound effects.

This book trailer includes a summary of the story including:

  • characters
  • setting
  • plot

Excellent Novel Study Ideas using MS PowerPoint

In addition to the instructions about how to create a book trailer, this technology project also offers excellent novel study ideas. Included are activities for creating a postcard from a main character, interactive quiz about the plot, story mobile, collage of events, and wanted poster. All of these Microsoft PowerPoint activities review technology skills learned throughout the project.
