May Book Presentation
May is the month of “FREE CHOICE.” That means that you
may choose any type of book you would like. The restrictions are:
1.You must not have read the book before, and 2. it must be at an
appropriate reading level, and 3. it cannot be a graphic novel. Once
you’ve picked the book, get it approved, then read and enjoy!
On the date of your presentation, you will give a regular
presentation according to the rubric we have been working with all year.
Then, you must read a selection from the
book aloud to the class. Choose a part which you
feel is interesting, funny, descriptive, scary, well-written, suspenseful, or
otherwise grabs your attention.
Before your presentation, practice reading your selection
out loud many times. Use your parents or your siblings as a practice
audience. Be sure you can pronounce all words and names correctly.
Practice putting feeling into what you say. No one wants to hear a
mumbling, monotone reader!
Before you start your read-aloud, set the scene and tell us what has already happened, so that we can
appreciate what we hear! Don’t forget to tell us WHY you chose this
particular passage! Finish with a closing statement.
