This seems like a cool project for a teen advisory board, or younger kids, too.  Pam Gardow, Memorial High School librarian, works with students to create trailers like this one.  Her students use Animoto as a platform–a simple tool that allows them to create eye-catching trailers.  It might be worth spending some time checking it out!  There are more great ideas and resources on the Read On Wisconsin website.
