Book Projects and Book Talks





Each quarter the students are required to do a Book Project. There are about 15 different types of projects the students can choose from. They are to read a book at a 4th grade level or higher and complete a project by the end of the quarter.

Once a year the students will do a Book Talk or Book Presentation (same thing)
They will receive the directions and do three things: Create and outline of the book, make a Visual Aid, and Read a passage from the book. They will be scores on their Outline, Visual Aid, Reading from the book, and Overall Presentation Skills.

**Note- The quarter your child does his/her Book Talk they WILL NOT do a separate Book Project.
