Independent Book Report Presentations
RUBRIC
Step 1: Read the novel.
Step 2: Journal
Keep a journal as you read (At least 10 entries). Your audience is your peers. Report upon the occurring events, important characters and their motives, new vocabulary, and your own personal reactions. Set up your journal as follows:
DATE: Pages Read:
Sequence of Events:
Characters:
Vocabulary:
Reactions:
Step 3: Prepare a presentation, of your choosing (Power point, prezi, poster, etc.), where you briefly review your text for your classmates. Include key details, interesting occurrences, and an honest judgment of the book. (3-5 minutes).
Step 4: Author Biography
Research, report, and present upon your author. Include interesting facts, biographical information, influences, awards, and other published works. You should prepare a set of note cards for your presentation, which you will turn in. Finally, find a picture of your author to bring to class to show your classmates (of course, you may use the internet).
Step 5: Analytical Literary Essay
Students are to take a stand by writing an original thesis statement with three supporting ideas reviewing the structure and subject matter of their chosen text.
NOTE: (Literary Structure: the way in which a writer organizes the sequence of events; Literary Subject Matter: all the subjects that an author discusses within a text)
Write as a reviewer. Advise other readers of your chosen field to either read or ignore this text when developing their major/ minor.
