If a picture is worth a thousand words, then how much are a picture and a thousand words worth?
My freshman classes decided to find out by writing book reviews and filming brief book talks. While most students stayed well under one thousand words, they did gain experience in reviewing and analyzing popular fiction.
We learned along the way. For example, it wasn't until after filming was finished that we discovered how one mouse click reverses images in Photo Booth so that our books wouldn't appear backwards. Next time.
We hope you enjoy the reviews. More importantly, we hope you find new books and authors to explore.
Thanks for reading.
