BOOK TALKS DUE MONDAY SEPTEMBER 9th, 2019

At the end of last year, all 5th grade (Dearborn) students were instructed to read at least 3 books over the summer in order to complete a ‘book talk’ upon entering 6th grade. Today students were given an example of the 7 elements that they must include in their informal ‘book talk’. Students will deliver their mini presentation to their table groups of 3-5 students next Monday. The elements that must be included are:

Title, author, character description, setting, recommendation, quote from the book to share aloud and a student drawn illustration representing a favorite part from the book.

The only element that will be turned in, will be the illustration. Students can plan their book talk using any format with which they are comfortable.

Some ideas discussed today (but not required) included:

note cards, a piece of paper with bullet points, a poster board, printed slides etc….Again, these items are just to help the student remember what to say during the presentation and will not be turned in.

Thank you for your support at home!!
