Literacy Week 2022: Paws for a Good Book

Monday June 6 - Thursday June 9, 2022

 

 

Literacy Week is back! We're looking for video submissions of you reviewing or recommending your favorite books to your fellow Baywood students! If you are interested in participating, please submit your video (30-60 seconds long) before May 27, 2022

 

In your video, make sure you mention:

  • Your name
  • Your grade
  • Title of the book
  • Author of the book
  • Your book review or reasons why you would recommend this book.

 

Media file format & guidelines:

Photo: 300 px resolution

Video: 30-60 seconds, 1920x1080 HD, maximum of 1GB file size in mp4, avi, wmv or mov format

Location: When picking a location, avoid harsh overhead or back lighting. It’s best to face your light source. Natural light is the best, a window with indirect sunlight entering through it is perfect. Prefer a  quiet location away from street noise, echo or other distractions.
