Movie Trailers Intros

This year I learned how to make a movie trailer for use in my classroom. It was very easy with iMovie and I plan on doing several more throughout the year for lesson hooks. I started working on them Saturday and had both finished by Tuesday night. It was that easy! I had seen several other teachers make them as a way to introduce themselves on the first day of school, had seen them on #tlap chats, and so I decided to make one too. Here is the one for my AP US History Class:

And here is the one I used to introduce myself and class to my regular US History students. What fun it was to create. I even got several cheers and claps from my students!
