Extensive Reading Club

During the second term, you are going to present to the class the book you have chosen to read. This should be done at the beginning of January.

PAY ATTENTION to this:

You are going to have up to 15'/20' (fifteen/ twenty minutes) to talk about your book.

You must speak about:

- you must take into account that you are not texting to classmates; you are presenting a book in a more formal context.

1) Main characters 
- explain their main characteristics
- read some passages which show the behaviour of the characters you chose to speak about

2) The story in general (summary of the story)

- type of story (novel, thriller, comedy, biography...)- read some of the passages  that were important to the story

3) Explain and read the moment of the story you most or least enjoyed 

4) Explain why you recommend (or not) the book


Some advice: (PLEASE READ THEM ATTENTIVELY)

1

Remember that you have several platforms to use in your presentation (rather than PPT or Prezi), for instance: 

a) Genial.ly,  Spark, Padlet

b) Create a Blog 

c) ...

Whatever platform you choose to present your work remember that you should have pictures instead of text in your slides. Of course, you can write one or two main words.

2

You can bring objects, music or other elements that might help to enrich your presentation.

3

Do not panic during your presentation. If you cannot remember what you have to say, simply say that you need a moment and carry on.

4

Rehearsing is fundamental. Present your work at home alone, to your siblings, to your mum, and to your dad. By the time you get to class, you are completely secure and ready! Remember that I am once a week in our school's library and you can rehearse there and listen to some tips.

Eat well for morning breakfast! It is important to be 100% ready!!
