Time
3 to 4 minutes
Requirements
Note cards (Needed for assistance, please try not to read from them!)
Procedures
Your Book Talk should include the following:
- The title, author, publication date of your book. You should have the book with you to show to the class.
- Briefly summarize the book (don’t spend too long on this) by telling who the main characters are, what the central conflict/idea is, what the important events in the book are, and what you believe the author wants readers to take from the experience of reading the book. It’s best not to reveal too much or tell the ending, especially if you are ultimately recommending the book as a good read.
- Introduce and then read a passage from the book. This passage should be from a significant moment in the story that describes a main character in some way, illuminates the book’s theme or central idea, represents an important point in the plot, strikingly reflects the author’s style, or foreshadows something exciting. In other words, choose a passage that excites the imagination!
- Finally, tell the audience if you would recommend the book or not, and explain your three main reasons why.
