Oral Book Review

Good Morning!

Today you are delivering your oral book review.  You are to speak knowledgeably about your book, following the guidelines on the rubric that I gave you.  The only part that you read is the passage that you selected in the book.  Speak clearly and make eye contact with the class.  You will be using the microphone.  Please don't have me continually telling you to speak into the mic.  Be conscious of how you are using your voice.

NOTE:  As your classmate is delivering his or her oral book review, please politely listen.  No talking whatsoever at this time! 

*I will collect the book review handout at the end of class.

Book Review Preparation

Good Morning! 
I hope that you had a great weekend!

1.  Independent Reading -- Remember that one of your books this semester must be from the recommended list. I have decided to make the final book review this semester an oral review.  We will take time before and during the final schedule to complete this. I have given you a rubric for the book review.  We will start the oral book reviews next Tuesday and finish on the day of your scheduled final: Period 1 on Wednesday and Period 4 on Thursday.

NOTE: I will give you time TODAY to prepare your oral review. Tomorrow I will give extra credit to those who volunteer to begin.

NOTE:  If you see an assignment missing on Powerschool, it is too late to decide to turn it in.  Assignments are made very clear on my blog each day.  It is your responsibility to promptly make up any missed assignments due to absences.

2.  Excerpt from Malala Yousafzai's autobiography, I am Malala --On Friday we viewed a New York Times documentary on Malala Yousafzai.  I am sure you learned a great deal about the conflict in that part of the world and the issue of girls being denied an education. Today we will read an excerpt from her autobiography.

On the back of the excerpt, write a reflection on what you read.  Also, add some thoughts about the documentary that we viewed.
