Oral Book Report Presentation: Realistic Fiction
Oral Book Report: Realistic Fiction
Outline due May 11
Presentations: May 14 -18
Option 1:
You will be creating and presenting your book report to the class using PowerPoint or a similar program. There will be a total five content requirements. For each requirement you will make a series of slides with text, pictures, and other tools that will help you to convey pertinent information about the novel you selected. Instructions on using PowerPoint will be given in class. Presentations must have between 8-12 slides with pictures or other visual aids that help convey information and create interest.
Option 2:
Rather than using PowerPoint, create your visual aids by hand using poster board. You must use a minimum of 5 poster boards (1 for each content requirement). Poster board should be 24”x36” or larger. Text and images should be large enough to be easily read from the back of the classroom. There are no limits to how you create your visual aids, so feel free to use markers, colored pencils, cut outs from magazines, or computer generated items. Other than that, the same requirements apply as with option 1. It is strongly recommended that you design each visual aid in advance, and use pencil before permanent marker on the actual poster board.
Procedures
Read a realistic fiction novel of at least 150 pages in length. Then create an outline on paper that includes: title and author, character descriptions of three to five characters, setting description, (place and time) plot description, and theme summary.
