Upcoming project

1. BOOKTUBE, BOOKTUBER,
BOOKTUBING!
American OIB literature
class
11th grade
2017-2018
Lycée International Nelson
Mandela, Nantes.

2. WHAT IS THIS NEW PROJECT
ABOUT???
Why now?
Well… many of you wanted to
keep reading new books and
presenting them in class.
The trouble is : you won’t have
time to do it this year in class: too
many works to study in depth…
So I thought: what about
Booktube?
You are going to present your
books, record your presentations
and share them online.

3. THE DIFFERENT STEPS
 You will learn about Booktube and analyze what a
good Booktuber does!
 You will interview two Booktubers!
 Adam Durand (Memento Mori)
 The Storyscape
 You will read a book on your syllabus or by one of
your syllabus authors and make a Booktube video. (in-
depth analysis)
 You are going to watch your friends’ videos and
comment on them (always in a positive and creative
way).

4. THE DIFFERENT STEPS
 You will vote for the best video (yes… it IS a
competition !)
 And if we can we will do it twice: your second
book will need to be a classic but you can
choose an author who is not on your syllabus 
 You will fill in this document so that I can
improve the project next year!

5. ADAM DURAND : MEMENTO MORI

6. ADAM DURAND : MEMENTO MORI
 Hello, my name is Adam and I live in Seattle,
Washington USA. I run a Booktube channel called
'Memento Mori' which I created in early 2016 and
where I talk about and occasionally review books that I
am currently reading.
 Though I do not work in the literacy or publishing
industry, I have a deep passion for reading that has
carried me through the years. Booktube has not only
been a great place for me to talk about the books that
I love (or hate) but also an incredible way for me to
connect to readers from around the world.
 I read a variety of books both fiction and non-fiction,

7. THE STORYSCAPE
My name is Dominique and I create media
around literature. I like to blend pop culture
and digital media to enhance the way we
engage with contemporary literature!
