Oral Novel Reports

This week students in 8-4 and 8-5 have started giving oral reports on the novel they read most recently in class. Each student created a powerpoint slide show to accompany their oral report. They are encouraged to print off an outline and practice their presentation ahead of time. They should also remember to look at the audience when speaking, use a clear voice and not read from the slide show, but rather use it as a tool to enhance their presentation. So far the presentations have been very well done. We are getting a lot of ideas for great books to read. Students should remember that they are expected to read for a minimum of twenty minutes each evening and bring your novel to class every day.
