PRESENTATION RULES

• Being a good listener helps your grade.  Being a poor listener hurts.
• If you are not ready to go on the day it is your turn: two choices
  • Wing it
  • Go to the back of the line.  Take late credit (50 percent max)
• If you have an EXCUSED or EXEMPTED absence on the day it is your turn to go…
  • You go on the day you return.  You can go first if you want.  Otherwise, you’ll go last that day.
• If you have an UNEXCUSED absence on your day:  you go to the back of the line and get 1/2 credit at most.

GOOD READS PROMPT:  Either a key quote or something that stood out to you.  REMEMBER, think about what you might want to use in a presentation.  When I did mine, I mostly went back through GoodReads prompts.

LEARNING TARGET:  as a result of today’s lesson you should be able to

1. Explain the basics of the presentation based on your book.
2. Be able to come up with 2-3 elements of a successful presentation

C.E.’s Sample Presentation

PROMPT:  What was the most interesting thing you learned today or list a quote that stood out and why.

PROMPT FOR GOOD READS:  what is the most interesting or important thing that happened in the part of the book you read today?    Also: by Wednesday:  how many more days until you think you’ll be done?

 

 

GOOD LUCK TODAY

GOODREADS PROMPT:  Now that you’ve read a little deeper into your book, tell me what you think about your main character/subject.

 

 

PROMPT FOR TODAY:  What do you think your author’s overall message is?  What lessons are you learning from your book?  What makes you think that?  (keep this idea in mind–and it’s OK to change as you read more and have new information).

 

 

REMINDER:  Here are some of the questions you’ll have to deal with in your presentation

 

Characters and Text Structures

• Who are the characters? What are they all about?

Overview/Summary of Book Take Away

• Review your connections and theories from your reading, and discussions you have been a part of. Share one insight you have gained that impacts the way you read, the way you see central ideas in or across the text, or the way you interact with others.

Explain how your author connects details, or uses a single element or structure of autobiography, biography, or memoir to promote a central idea.

What life lesson was learned? By the characters? By the reader?

Favorite Quote(s)/Passage(s)

• Identify some of your favorite quotes or passages AND analyze what they mean and why you chose them.

PROMPT FOR IND. READING LOGS TODAY:  What’s one quote that stood out to you?  Why?

 

 

Here’s an example of a good one from yesterday:

• “It seemed as if the sky were going to break and fall on the earth.”
  I really like this quote because I think everyone has had a moment (obviously not to Ishmael’s extent) that they just feel like even the sky is going to fall out of the sky. It also says a lot about the scene and how he is viewing the world he’s in right now.

MONDAY’S READING LOG PROMPT:  

• What’s one quote from your reading today that stands out as particularly meaningful?  Why?
