ENG3U - Book Talks

For the past few days we have been presenting and listening to our classmates Book Talks. We each had to do a 3 minute presentation on our ISU novel, what we thought of it, a little about the author. I personally thought the class did very well. Some were well prepared. Some not so much, but there wasn't one presentation that had no interesting information that got me interested in reading the book. People did very well in being creative fro ma game show host, to overheads, posters, question, and some just plain reading. All in all it was done very well.

Some helpful criticism for the class would be. Finish your book before you present it. Don't reveal the dramatic ending to the class. It defeats the purpose of reading the book. Speak clearly and pr enunciate everything. Make eye contact and don't read from a sheet all the time. I hope I was a help.

For my presentation I thougth I did alright. I was a little long winded, and I couldn't get what I wanted to say in that short amount of time out. With the seminar it should be much better. A lot more planned out and presented with more confidence and order. I kinda jumped around during my presentation and I have to stop that. That is my goal for my seminar is to teach people effectively and have a little fun with it.
