90-Second Newbery!



Young filmmakers had about 90 seconds to synopsize Newbery award-winning books.  Pop some corn and click here to watch these hilarious and ingenious short films based on the best of children's literature!  This is too great, especially since we were just studying award winners when school let out, and 5th grade and up were all encouraged to take Newbery winners on that last Monday check-out!  (Even if you didn't, hey, that's okay, there are many to be found in the CPS Virtual Library.).

You might even be inspired to make and share your own 90-Second Newbery!  They are accepting entries for next year's contest...even if you can't meet with friends in person, don't be discouraged, you can work on creating an amazing script.


Stone Bookworms Challenge Question: After watching several examples, which 90-Second Newbery short is your favorite and why?  Post in the comments!
