WelcomeUpcoming Book Talk Schedule
Objectives:Term 1 Dates: Oct. 5, 15th, 24th November 2, 7, 15 Book Talks & Independent Reading   To promote a love of reading that mirrors “real life” reading. To expose sixth graders to a variety of genres. To enable students to become comfortable while giving oral presentations. Students will have a better understanding about themselves as readers and make connections with their peers about reading genres, new authors and titles. Students will think critically about what they read. It is the goal to promote a fun and stress-free environment around reading. It is also the goal to promote life-long reading habits of all students. Rules and Guidelines:
Each student is responsible to sign up for a Book Talk once a term. Students must also read a different genre each book. This will be tracked on the Peer Reading Log. All students must have an Independent Reading book that they are reading. This book will travel to and from home on a daily basis. Students will be given an opportunity to read their book each day in school during Academic Extension for 20 minutes during Sustained Silent Reading (SSR). Students are also expected to read at least 60 minutes per week. They will have a Reading Log for parents to sign off on that they read their required 60 minutes each week as part of their homework. This grade counts as a test grade each term. Book Talk sign ups: Students will sign up for Book Talks in my classroom. There will be a designated day in the cycle for Book Talks to be heard. Students must present a Book Talk each term for a TEST GRADE. Grading:
Students will be graded against the rubric (see attached). They should be able to give a brief summary of plot (theme and main idea), characters, genre, author’s style, as well as their own opinion of the book. Students will be able to give an opinion of their book and either “hook” their audience or give valid reasons as to why they disliked the book. These may be based on plot or author style. Students will be graded on their ability to present strong oral presentations. Book Talks should last approximately 3-4 minutes.
