The Art of Presenting a “Book Talk”Presentations start: T.12/8 & W.12/9

A “Book Talk” is a 2-5 minute talk about a book you want to motivate others to read. The purpose of a book-talk is to "sell" the book like an advertisement; to grab the audience's interest and make them want to read the book. (It is similar to a movie trailer but for books.) The book-talker presents the book-talk orally and usually has the book as a visual prop.

Use the Rubric to determine how your book talk “reads” Practice with a friend Seven Steps to an AMAZING Book Talk
