Book Report #5 InstructionsWhat you need to include in
your Book Report Presentation You have read your book. Your next step will be to organize what you are going to say about it in your Animoto Presentation. Writing the basic elements down in an outline format will help you to organize your thoughts.What will you include in your presentation? Let's assume for the moment that you've chosen a work of fiction. We'll start with a written & visual description of the book. The description should include such elements as: The setting--where does the story take place? Is it a real place or an imaginary one? If the author does not tell you exactly where the story is set, what can you tell about it from the way it is described? The time period--is the story set in the present day or in an earlier time period? Perhaps it is even set in the future! Let your reader know. The main character(s)—who is the story about? Give a brief description. Often, one character can be singled out as the main character, but some books will have more than one. The plot--what happens to the main character? WARNING! Be careful here. Do not fall into the boring trap of reporting every single thing that happens in the story. Pick only the most important events. Here are some hints on how to do that. First, explain the situation of the main character as the story opens. Next, identify the basic plot element of the story--is the main character trying to achieve something or overcome a particular problem? Then, describe a few of the more important things that happen to the main character as he/she works toward that goal or solution. Finally, you might hint at the story's conclusion without completely giving away the ending. For the last part of your presentation, give your audience a sense of the impression the book made upon you. Ask yourself what the author was trying to achieve and whether or not he/she achieved it with you. What larger idea does the story illustrate? How does it do that? How did you feel about the author's style of writing, the setting, or the mood of the novel. You do not have to limit yourself to these areas. Pick something which caught your attention, and let your audience know your personal response to whatever it was. Don't forget to include pictures (visuals), Sound (music) & Text (written description of your book) in your presentation |
