60 second recap is a way of producing a video book report in a minute. Write a summary of the main points, read them out. Does it take you more than a minute? If so, you'll need to edit, but remember to keep the most important points. Now rehearse, grab your flip camera, iPod touch or smartphone, film and upload!

Here are a few examples:

Students don't have to film their 60 second recap if access to a camera is a problem, but can perform them for the class instead.
