We will create a library of student created "Book Hooks" or "Book Talks" using Garageband. Students will create a "Book Hook" based on a book they've read. This book hook will create interest for another student to try out the story. When students need to choose a book, they will have this student created resource to find a good book.
Here is the handout I created with directions.
This was hugely successful as students had to identify elements from their books that would create suspense or a desire to read the book. Here is a completed podcast for the book Eragon by Christopher Paolini.

I find this to be utterly inspirational. I am not only planning to show this to my kids, I would like to DO this in by own room. Besides being a terrific use of a classroom iPOD, this video was beautifully shot, acted, narrated, and lit. Your kids are so lucky to have you. What a dynamite project. Thanks for sharing such a great idea!
