Reading retelling a book

I had listen to some videos on story line online.  As part of what we were listening we also how to to see how  they were retold by famous people because our activity was to retell a favorite story of ours. Then I had to pick a book and practice reading it and making eye contact with the camera. Then I recorded ourselves. After that I uploaded the video into Windows live movie maker and saved on my blog. Its the first time i ever used Windows live movie maker I thought it was cool and fun too use and i loved all the special effects and things you could do.
