Book Talk Instructions - Team 602
Hello students and parents, Our LAST Book Talk for this school year is due before May 10th. This will not be our ordinary book talks of past. For this last book talk, the requirements are: 1. The students must research a career field that they are interested in. (No Sports allowed!) 2. After researching their career choices, each student must create their own book about their career, and then 3.Each student must present a book talk about their book. This PROJECT will count as a Research grade (200 pts) and a Book Talk grade (200 pts) - - so in all, this final book talk counts as FOUR test grades. The students have a choice of whether to create a powerpoint slideshow to go along with their presentation or create a photostory, but again, the use of technology is a REQUIREMENT for this project. For those students who would like to create a photostory, I will provide them with written instructions on how to download the software (free of charge) and instructions on how to use it. Each book must contain an original Book Cover with Title and Author, created by the student; a Table of Contents; and at least 8 pages of print about the career field divided into 4 sections: 1) Why I Chose this Career Field 2) Career Field Educational & Aptitude Requirements (to include colleges or institutions where you can study to enter the field) 3) Future Jobs Outlook in the field and, 4) Glossary of Important Terms related to the Career Field. If you have any questions about this assignment, please feel free to contact me. Happy Reading, K. Jones Team 602 Language Arts and Reading
