≡ WILTWTR: What I’d Like the World to Read
Calling all teens!
Here’s the chance to spread your love for reading to your peers.
* Pick your book
* Tell us, in English, WHAT the book is about and WHY others should read it
* Submit in video, audio or powerpoint slide show (duration should not exceed 2 minutes)
How creative can you get?
* You can produce a slide show, podcast, or video. Or a movie clip using just photos.
* Or use your handphone to record your work.
* What’s important is the book you’re recommending, rather than your acting skills or production quality.
What do you have to do?
Post your work online (to YouTube, SlideShare, your blog etc.). Then email us with your details and a url link to your work (see “More Details” below).
Here’s a few examples we’ve put up on YouTube, Google video, Podomatic, and Slideshare.
