Special Assignments:
Book talks: Students will be introduced to book talks early in the school year. Book talks are ongoing and students are assigned one about every 6 weeks.
1. Your child should carefully fill out the written organizer found at this link. This can be typed or printed offline and handwritten. A reminder this must be turned in on the day of their book talk.
2. Your child will make a presentation during the school day to tell about the book. Click this link for the grading rubric.
For the presentation portion students should not read off of the organizer. This is just a tool to get them thinking about the book. They can feel free to be as creative with this presentation as they want as long as it contains a brief summary and description of characters, setting and problem (see the grading rubric). They should use notecards to help them remember what they plan to say.
