Zombies at Thing 20

 YouTubeI LOVE YOUTUBE WITH A FIRE BURNING PASSION! So really I have no dislikes for YouTube...hahaha. The video I choose to use was the trailer for World War Z which is the companion to Max Brooks' "The Zombie Survival Guide" that is fixing to come out. I have always strongly disliked Brad Pitt, but if he is doing a zombie movie he has moved up considerably in my list of actors. World War Z is basically what would happen in the world if virus strain ever broke out that created the living dead. It has deeper issues that mirror what is happening in the world today like the war in the Middle East, the government's response to global events, and the ways the government hurts its people during extreme times.
Library Website
The first thing I thought of was that the library website could feature movie trailers to famous books to get kids interested in reading...Also, it informs kids that movies come from books not the other way around. (Hint the movie trailer I picked) YouTube is a great resource to use in the classroom or on a library website if it is watched properly and certain things are censored. YouTube gives you the opportunity to watch the original video you were looking for, see what is related to your search, or you can watch a video that has nothing to do with your search other than both creators having the same last name. I see YouTube like a research database that is set up to give the viewer information that stimulates intelligences that articles and books sometimes can not give. So... I see YouTube as a great application for a library website.
