Newberry90SecondContest

Throughout the month of April, we will be reading Newbery books in class and at home. By April 21st, the students should have finished reading their books. From April 21st through May 13th, we will be working on their films, which will be 90 second interpretations of their books. They can use film recording devices, illustrations, pictures, stuffed animals, animation, lego characters or any other creative devices. These movies will then be edited using iMovie, voice overs and audio-visual effects.

Once completed, these movies may be submitted to the Newbery 90 Second Movie Contest. More information can be found at 90 Second Newbery Contest Ideas for Newbery books can be found at Newbery Books A list of Newbery winners 90 second contest rules
