Book Talk
Tips
-
First
and most important……make sure you like the book you choose. You
want to be excited enough about the book to share it with others.
If you don’t like your book after the first fifty pages, GET
A NEW BOOK. Your enthusiasm (or lack of it) will be obvious when you
deliver your talk.
-
As
you read, mark passages with a Post-it note that are especially
powerful, funny, dramatic, well written, or descriptive.
You may want to read or quote one of them for your book talk
and marking passages will save you time and aggravation when it
comes to preparing for your book talk.
-
While
reading, jot down general plot information.
Keep in mind that you want to tell just enough of the
plot to create interest without revealing everything.
This is NOT a book report.
-
Give
yourself enough time to finish your book well before the book
talk is scheduled. It
helps to have time to just think about the book before beginning to
work your talk.
