For your summer assignment, you will create a Book Talk about the book you read for Summer Reading. You will share your Book Talk with your classmates in September. A Book Talk is like a sales pitch for your book where you will try to persuade other students to read your book.
You must use the book talk template for your assignment. Students may be creative and change the format/ design of the template, but the slide must contain all of the required information.
