book talk extra credit opportunity

If you want to earn some extra credit on one of your major assessments for Q3, sign up to give a book talk on one of your two winter break reading texts!

This 1-2 minute presentation should include the following information:
--the title and author (bring/ project the book if possible, so we can see the cover)
--a short description of the plot (fiction) or the argument/topic (nonfiction)
--a recommendation for what types of readers would be interested in this book

Keep it short, simple, and try to be entertaining so that you can excite your audience. Make sure you show enthusiasm for the book, because this assignment is about sharing something you enjoy and want others to enjoy as well.
