Hello,
Today we will continue to listen to non-fiction book talks.
Please take out your rating sheet and a writing utensil.
Sign in with the book that earned your highest rating yesterday.
Thank you,
Ms. Z
Learning Target: I am able to discuss my non-fiction book with the class as well as listen to the presentations of others.
Rate the books as you listen
- For each book, write down the title and the name of the presenter.
- Draw the number of stars you would give the book.
★ = Sounds pretty boring, I’m not interested at all.
★★ = The topic is interesting, but the book sounds dull.
★★★ = The book and the topic sound interesting, I will consider reading it.
★★★★ = I will ABSOLUTELY seek out this book and read it.
Tips for Public Speaking
-- Make eye contact with audience.
-- Try not to just read your presentation.
-- Speak loud enough so we can hear.
Tips for Audience
-- Listen
-- Don’t be talking to a neighbor.
-- Don’t make faces at the presenter.
Information to Include in Your Presentation
- Name of the article
- Main idea of the article
- Who are the most important people involved in the situation?
- Where did the events take place?
- Is there a problem? If so, describe it.
- Give two facts from the article.
- Find at least one opinion stated in the article. If you can’t explain why you think there were no opinions given. REMEMBER: Opinions can often be found in the quotes from people who are interviewed.
- Does it seem like the author has an opinion on the topic, or are they unbiased?
- What is your opinion on the topic?
- What did you think of how the article was written? Did you like their style? Was it easy to read, or difficult? Explain a little.
Making a Rubric
- Consider which presentations were the most interesting and informative.
- Create three sets of criteria:
- Information presented
- Creativity
- Public Speaking skills
- For each of these criteria, give descriptions for what each grade level looks like.
Example, if we were to grade “how you walk in the hallway”:
A
|
B
|
C
|
D
|
F
|
Gets to destination quickly with no disruption to the people around them, may socialize briefly but is focused on getting materials and getting to class, does not run.
|
Gets to destination on time with minimal disruption to the people around them, may socialize more than they should but is mostly focused on getting materials and getting to class, does not run.
|
Gets to destination in a delayed manner with noticable disruption to the people around them, socialization distracts them from getting materials and getting to class, may participate in “playground” behavior.
|
Gets to destination late with noticiable disruption to the people around them, socialization distracts them from getting materials and getting to class, they arrive unprepared, may participate in “playground” behavior.
|
Hallway behavior results in someone getting hurt or damage to belongings. Student arrives late, unprepared.
|
You will have something like this for each of the 3 criteria. Feel free to add additional criteria, if you see fit.
To consider on your poster:
Why is this topic important? What’s the big deal?
What are the BIG details of the book?
Where did this happen?
Who was involved?
Do you have images ?
Were you creative?
Audience participation?

Welcome to RTI,
Today we will be working on our non-fiction talks. You will be reading a newspaper article and then presenting the information to the group. You will need to prepare what you are going to talk about ahead of time and have it written down.
Please sign in with something that would make an interesting presentation.
Thank you,
Ms. Z
