If you have recently finished a book, we would love to hear about it! REMEMBER THERE ARE TWO RULES: (1) You must finish the book before giving a report, (2) No spoilers. I recommended a book that was Historical fiction or nonfiction but any book finished works too! If you would like a guardian to attend your presentation…let me know 😉

Her are some ideas you can use to present your book to the class (OPTIONAL):
- All presentations must be 3-5 minutes.
- Share a brief summary of your book.
- Tell us enough to get us interested, but not so much that it ruins the ending.
- Give the book a rating of 1-5 stars, depending on how well you liked it. The more you liked it, the more stars you will give. Explain to the class why you rated it the way you did.
- Be prepared and use good presenting skills (speak loudly).
