Extensive Reading Project 2020

10, 11 and 12 graders - Extensive Reading Project 2020

During the second term, you are going to present to the class the book you have chosen to read. You should present it at the beginning of January. (in order to avoid stressful moments in March).

PAY ATTENTION to this:

You are going to have up to 15' / 25' to present your work.

You must speak about 5 main topics: (you can add more topics if you consider them to be crucial to the understanding of your story).

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

1) The story in general (summary of the story)
- read some of the passages  that were important to the story

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

3) Moment of the story you most enjoyed
- read the passage which was revealing for the end of the story (if you can leave your classmates eager to know the very end of the book by not revealing it)

4)  Show to your classmates three expressions you have learned with the reading of your story. Your classmates must write them down o their notebooks.
5) Explain why would you recommend (or not) the book


Some advice: (PLEASE READ THEM ATTENTIVELY)

1/

a) Remember that you have several platforms to use in your presentation (rather than PPT or Prezi), for instance: a) Genial.ly,  Spark, Padlet or create a Blog, 

Whatever platform you choose to present your work remember that you should have pictures or keywords instead of text in your slides. 

2/

You can bring objects, music or other elements that might help you during 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 or to your dad. By the time you get to class, you are completely secure and ready to go through it!

5/

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