If you have a Smartphone or a device that can load apps, download the app called "Augmented Reality Freedom Stories". It's free at the App Store.
You will be able to see and hear the stories of over 20 courageous Black people who found their own way to FREEDOM. Just open the app, and hold your device over the target pictures that Mme Walker Hope and Mrs. Traynor have and be amazed!
You can do this at home too by printing out the pictures at the Harriet Tubman Institute website.
Here's the link!

Hopefully at least one of these people will 'inspire you to inquire' for your project. Good luck!

So, here's the last step to finishing this project.
Success Criteria:

2. Your Animoto background sets the appropriate mood for your book genre.
3. Your text bullets give enough information about your book that the audience is intrigued.
4. There is a HOOK to draw in the audience to read your book.
5. You have an image of your book cover in your Animoto somewhere.
Keeping the success criteria in mind, have a peer watch and listen to your Book Trailer and act on their feedback - be it spelling mistakes, unsuitable music, blurry images - whatever.
Once you have reproofed your assignment, PRODUCE it and COPY the URL for the next step.
