Components of Short
Story Movie Project

You and your partner will be able to select

a short story to analyze. There are 18 short

stories. Only one group per class will have

a short story. You will have time to preview

the stories before we start the selection

process. You will fill out a reading analysis

after you have read the short story.

Analyze Short Story

Once your reading analysis is

complete, you will create a movie

trailer using iMovie on an ipad or

Animoto. You will need to cast

actors, find music, and find images

that fit with your story.

Create Movie Trailer

Each person will write a

reflection of their time working

with a partner to create this

project.

Reflect

Select and analyze a short story with your partner.

Short Story

Short Stories

1. We will preview the short stories.
2. You and your partner will discuss what stories you want.
3. Groups will be chosen in a random order to choose the short

story that they want. Each story will only be used once per class
period.

4. You will read the short story with your partner.
5. When you are done reading, I’ll verify that you read the story

and give you the reading analysis.

Story Preview

Read the short story summaries and decide with your
partner which stories you are most interested in.

Selection

We will be using the wheel of names to determine the selection order.

Time to Read!

Read your story. When you are done, check in with me and I will give
your the reading analysis.

The reading analysis stays in the class and will be collected at the end
of every period. The reading analysis is a major grade and needs to be
completed before moving on the movie trailer.

Create a trailer for your short story

02
Movie Trailer

Movie trailers are a great way to convince an audience to
come see your film. You want to give them enough of the

story to go see your film, but not so much that you give away

the ending.

Movie Process

This trailer gives away most of the plot

Instructions

You can use any video editing software like iMovie, Animoto, Adobe Spark, etc.

● Must be at least 3-5 minutes long
● Check for spelling/grammar errors
● Must contain the entire storyline including the suspenseful ending
● Must contain background music that is appropriate for the suspense of your film
● Must contain pictures/names of your leading actors and the name of the character

they will portray.

● Must contain the story title and author
● Must contain credits which include each team members’ names
● You may NOT use the same actors or pictures if your story has already become a

movie. Be sure to choose actors to closely “fit” the characters in the story.
