It is so easy to use PowerPoint or Keynote to make presentations. It is also boring. I have tried to use iMovie to make presentations with a twist. A trailer or short film could be used to introduce a new unit. An example could be an introduction to the stories of Edgar A. Poe.
I have used movie trailers with my students. When we read "The Old Man of the Temple," which is a ghost story, I have them make ghost story trailers. I could also have them make a trailer that advertises a novel they have read. Finally, they could make trailers to explain terms like simile and metaphor.
