Content/Text

A Smashing Hit!

Exceeds expectations! Text created by the group and details chosen from the book are used effectively to create real or imagined events for the book trailers characters. They are presented in a logical sequence.

Spelling and grammar are all
correct. Text is written in an
easily read font and easily read color.
Looks Good!

W.7.3: Write narratives to develop real or imagined experiences or events using effective technique, well-chosen details, and well-structured event sequences.

Only one grammar or spelling error is present. Text is written in an easily read font and color.
OK

Details chosen from the book and/or original text created by the group does a limited job in developing real or imagined experiences that the characters might be feeling. Text is disjointed and does not follow a structured event sequence.

No more than two grammar or
spelling errors are present OR the text is not written in an easily read font or color.
Weak

Text included from the book or created by group seems disconnected and out of sequence with the structured events from the book.

Three or more grammar or spelling errors are present OR the text is not written in an easily read font and color.
Audio/Soundtrack

A Smashing Hit!

The actor's/narrator's voices were clearly understood and heard.

The music was at the appropriate volume. (Never overpowering the speaking)

Music stirs a rich emotional
response that matches the book well.
Looks Good!

The narrator or actors were mostly audible, with a few errors.

The music was mostly at an appropriate volume.

Music stirs a rich emotional
response that somewhat matches the book.
OK

There were many areas were the voices or music was too loud or too quiet.

Music is good and not distracting, but it does not add much to the
book trailer.
Weak

The audio was difficult to understand at any point.

Music is distracting, inappropriate, OR was not used.
Images

A Smashing Hit!

Images create a distinct
atmosphere or tone that matches
different parts of the book trailer.
Looks Good!

Images create an atmosphere or
tone that matches some parts of the book trailer.
OK

An attempt was made to use
images to create an atmosphere or tone but it needed more work. Image choice is logical.
Weak

Little or no attempt to use images to create an appropriate
atmosphere/tone.
Time

A Smashing Hit!

Length of trailer meets requirement.
(1.5-3 minutes)
Looks Good!

Length of trailer does not meet minimum requirement, but is in the ballpark. (Less than 1 minute or over 3 minutes)
OK

Length of trailer does not meet minimum requirement by a significant margin. (Less than 30 seconds, or more than 4 minutes)
Weak

Length of trailer does not meet minimum requirement by a long shot.
Media Use

A Smashing Hit!

Various forms of media are highly integrated and the choice of media strongly contributes to the overall work.
Looks Good!

SL.7.5: Include multimedia components and visual displays in presentations to clarify claims and findings and emphasize salient points.

The video uses multiple forms of media and the choice of media is often appropriate for the project. There is some integration of the various types of media.
OK

The video uses more than one form of media, but demonstrates poor integration of the media. The choice of media is often inadequate or inappropriate.
Weak

The book trailer uses only one form of media (Either images, audio, video, text).
