 * Reflections:** || Overall, I was very pleased with this activity. For lower level students, it is a good idea to have then record themselves reading the book instead of giving a summary. ||
 * 01/27/2014 ||< My students have become very independent and understand the whole process. They are independently reading and then recording each others summaries as well as creating videos recommending the book. ||
