Hi Everyone,   Tonight is your first night working on your Book Talk. Make sure you are following your plan. Tonight is Wednesday so tonights homework should be what you have in your plan for Wednesday. Each night you will do a little piece of your book talk, so by next Wednesday it should be completed and all you will have to do is practice. Remember your book talk is only 3 minutes in length, so it's really important that you practice.   Below is the information on the book talk that was your handout.   The purpose of your book talk is simply to share a book you finished reading with your teacher and classmates.   This is how it will work: 1. Hold up the book and read the title and author. 2. Introduce the main characters. 3. Summarize the plot without giving away the ending. 4. Read aloud a passage from the book that is chosen because it is exciting, important, or grabs the reader's attention (leaves us wanting more.) 5. Would you recommend this book? Why (to whom) or why not?   **** Remember each one of the above numbers will be your homework instead of a lift. Tonight is number one so you will be finding a book and writing a little paragraph about the author and his/her writing style. ******   Have a great night! Mrs. Gregan
