I usually put this off until the start of the school year, but I wanted to allow time for students (or teacher-librarian friends) to create book trailers.
Each year, I create a presentation for the Charlie May Simon books. In the presentation, I include some information about who Charlie May Simon was and how to vote. The presentation also includes each book cover, blurb, and a book trailer if it's available. The books without a trailer have a note under the cover image.
I give students the opportunity to create a trailer for those books. This is typically a presentation we do within the first couple of weeks. We post the presentation in Google Classroom and have students work through it independently. I also create a YouTube playlist for the book trailers that students can access any time.
Feel free to use the presentation (with credit to the author, of course) or the playlist!
