Book Report For Sport, Skill or Hobby Book
Ok! We are doing another book report. This one will be a presentation. Your presentation should last 2 ½ minutes if you are doing it alone and five minutes if you are doing it in pairs and it should be no longer than six minutes if you are alone and ten minutes for two people. In your presentation you should demonstrate how to do something and you need to bring in props such as equipment, a uniform, or ingredients to enhance your presentation.
Here is the outline for your demonstration speech:
1. Introduction: Tell the class about your topic and the history behind it (How long have you been doing this sport, skill, or hobby? What got you interested? Why do you enjoy it? How did you learn this?).
2. Body: This is where you demonstrate how to do something. Show us the steps involved and break it down for us. (If it is a sport like basketball, show us how to do a lay up, breaking down the steps. If you choose a hobby like cooking, show us how to measure, mix and put together whatever you made. If you are doing a hobby like stamp collecting, show us your collection and explain what the difference between the values of stamps are).
3. Conclusion: Give a quick summary of your topic; review what we have just learned. Tell us how we can start doing your sport, skill or hobby. Tell us about your future involvement in this sport, skill or hobby.
Here is the outline for the written part of your book report:
In addition, you will also need to turn in a written part as well. The outline is similar to a Persuasive Essay. You will need to write five paragraphs. In the first paragraph give a summary of the book. The last sentence should be your O/P or thesis statement where you tell the reader what grade you would give the book and why. In the next three paragraphs, you will discuss what three interesting things you learned by reading the book (one per paragraph), or you will give three reasons why you liked or disliked the book (again one per paragraph). In the final paragraph, remind the reader why you gave the book the grade you did and end the paper strongly. Remember, your paragraphs should be at least five sentences long.
Have fun!
