 * __Compelling Question:__**
 * === //How can we increase student reading motivation through the use of video and technology in the classroom?// ===
 * It is evident that many students have a lack of motivation to read based on the Elementary Reading Attitude Survey conducted with our participating students. We believe that incorporating technology into the reading process with make reading a more appealing subject and motivate students more. We are going to tests our beliefs by allowing students to create video book trailers after they have finished reading a book. The videos created by students would then be available to the rest of the class to view as a guide when selecting their next book.


 * __Resources/Materials:__**
 * video camera
 * personal computer
 * Elementary Reading Attitude Survey
 * classroom library full of books


 * __Target Age Group:__** Elementary Age (3rd-5th)

 * __Technologies:__**
 * Students will use video cameras to create a book trailer that works as an advertisement for the book they read and also highlights a general theme of the book. They will work in groups to plan, organize, and create the videos.

 * **Fifth Grade Reading:**
 * making predictions.
 * formulating questions.
 * supporting answers from textual information, previous experience, and/or other sources.
 * drawing on personal, literary, and cultural understandings.
 * seeking additional information.
 * making connections with previous experiences, information, and ideas.
 * creating and presenting a product that effectively demonstrates a personal response to a selection or experience.


 * __PBI Timeline & Implementation:__**
 * //Timeline:// 10/10/11 - 11/11/11
 * //Implementation:// The PBI will be implemented in a small classroom of students at the Widewaters Learning Center in Knightdale, NC. The students we are working with are third through fifth graders. The process began by getting approval for the project and parent permission to video students. Then the Elementary Reading Attitude Survey was conducted to see where our students stood in terms of reading motivation. Students selected a book on their appropriate reading level and began reading it independently. Example book trailers have been shown to students so they know what the final expected outcome was. Students then met twice a week to begin discussing what they read and beginning the brainstorming process.
