The Greatness of School Libraries
Create a video about why school libraries are great. Any one of the suggested prompts below will help you create your video, but you don’t have to use them. You can be as creative as you want!
-
Question to a student: What’s the best thing about a school library? Why do you go to the school library?
-
Question to a school librarian: What’s the best thing about a school library? Why should students come to the school library?
-
Question to a teacher or parent: Why does our school need a school library? What’s the best thing about a school library?
Your video can be as long as you want. It’s totally up to you! You can include videos of the school library. You can add music. You can interview yourself! Be sure to cite all media sources - even if you created it yourself!
