Finding Ways to Incorporate Digital Texts as a Component to Literature Instruction


Since I know many of you are currently searching for digital source materials which could be used in aiding students' reading development in MS/HS for your Meeting ELA Standards/Common Core Standards Using YA Literature Project, I thought I would share a few links I have collected which illustrate student created digital narratives as well as professionally made book trailers about the Hunger Games.  


These works are not advertisements for the film version of the movie, but were made as was to promote, summarize, and expand awareness and understanding of the book(s).   I believe these types of digital texts could be used effectively as before reading, during reading, and after reading materials to deepen and refine students' response to the work:
