We are 2/3 of the way through our book talks. We have 8 more book talks scheduled for Monday. The students are doing a great job getting up in front of the class for their first formal speech.
The next book talk is already in the works. Students picked out a non-fiction book during library on Thursday. The assignments will be very similar for this book talk.
- Finish reading the book
- Write a full page summary, turn in
- Create a digit representation of topic (we will start this in class, if not finished in class, students will need to complete at home)
- Publish digital representation (graphic organizer/thinking map) on student iblog
- Write note cards to help prepare and organize speech about book
- Practice, practice, practice
- Give book talk speech while displaying digital representation
We will get this underway next week. Students should be reading their book for reading logs until finished with the book.
