Book Talk Assignment

Book Talk Assignment

As a way to practice uploading to your new Fresh Grade account, let’s do a “Book Talk”.  Here are the steps to follow: 

1.  Complete the Reading Survey sheet Mrs. R will give you in order to get warmed up in thinking about your reading journey.  

2. Think about the answers to any 5 of the following questions.  (You could also come up with your own questions if you want.) 

3. Video tape your “Book Talk”.  It should be about 2 to 5 minutes in length. Upload it to your account. 

4.  We will show them all in class on Monday, Nov. 23 and you will get a mark out of 10.  (5 marks for answering 5 questions and then 5 marks for how well you speak, how inspiring you are and how well the questions were answered)  If you are really creative in your presentation, you may get some bonus marks. :)
