Sharon Draper's Out of My Mind is an extremely powerful book that I love using as a read aloud in my classroom. Students learn life lessons about acceptance, being respectful and the power of a smile. It is typical to hear students begging for you to read on at the end of read aloud as they travel through the journey of life with Melody, the main character.
Thanks for sharing this during class. It shows how we can use a tech tool to create a way to express reactions to a work of literature. Great idea to do book trailers with Animoto.
