Book Talks


Book Talks & Poetry Sharing!

Each day in reading, a student presents a book that they’ve finished reading.  We call these presentations, Book Talks.  The goal of a book talk to two fold – for the student to demonstrate their knowledge about the book and for the class to hear about new books each day.

During the book talk, the student show present the following information about the book.

1. Show the cover of the book to the class

2. Start with a good lead to capture the students’ attention.

3. Tell the author, title, genre

4. Explain why you chose to share the book – Is the book part of a series? Do you love the author?  Is this your favorite genre?  Etc…

5. Tell a summary of the book, but don’t give away the secrets to the plot.

6. Answer two questions from classmates

7.  NEW!!! To create a record of our book talks, student may complete add to our book talk poster in class or post about their book on this blog!
