Literature Recaps

Today, a colleague emailed a great resource for English teachers.  It is call 60 Second Recap. This site provides engaging video recaps that will help make understanding literary works easier for students.  I saw there was a recap for Brave New Word by Aldous Huxley.  I watched the Teaser Trailer for this book and it instantly gave me an idea.  What if we had our students make their own Teaser Trailers for books.  We could even do it for short stories.  Regardless of whether you have you students create their own or not, I believe this site will be an excellent resource for teachers who are trying to engage students with literature.  There are recaps available for many popular books and they also accept requests for recaps.
