Summer Learning Book Talk Directions<\/p>\n

Choose one of the three to five books you read over the summer to present as a book talk in your 6th Grade Language Arts class. Use an 8\u00bd x11 or a 9\u00d712 piece of paper for your presentation.<\/p>\n

Front of the Paper<\/p>\n

1. Create a visual representation of the book. This could be a picture of the setting, the characters, or your favorite event in the story.<\/p>\n

2. Include the title and author of your book.
\nBack of the Paper
\n1. Write a complete summary of your book. Be sure to include specific and important details about the events in the story including how the story ends.<\/p>\n

2. Write down your favorite passage and the pages it came from. Be sure to have a sticky note while you read so you can easily find your favorite part again and use it for this book talk.<\/p>\n

3. Would you recommend this book to a classmate? Evaluate what is good\/bad about the book using some specific details about the plot, characters, problem, and solution of your novel.<\/p>\n

Recommended Summer Book List for Incoming 6th Graders<\/p>\n

All students attending Bryant Middle School must read 3-5 books over the course of the summer. Then, they must select one of the books to present to the class as a Book Talk upon returning to school in the Fall. (Details about the assignment will be shared by your Language Arts teacher in the Fall). Here are some recommendations but you are encouraged to use your lexile level from the Spring Reading NWEA to choose a high interest book of your choice that will challenge your reading ability.<\/p>\n
