Instructions:

When you are finished reading, you will need to create a small presentation.  Your presentation must include the following:

• A brief summary of what your book is about. Tell the group all about the book and be sure to mention exciting parts or parts that will really catch their attention. Get them hooked on the idea that it's a great book.

• At least three convincing reasons why someone else should read (and would enjoy) your story. Make them feel like they're missing out if they don't read it. Talk about it like it's the greatest thing ever. For Example, tell them how and why you feel it would benefit them to read it.

• An index card with notes only about what you will say during your presentation.  Do not read your presentation to your audience, have your key points about what you plan to say and

• PRACTICE.  Time yourself, you presentation should use the full 5 minutes.

• Remember that you will be trying to convince someone else to read your book, so make your presentation as appealing, and your information as enticing, as possible!

•  Choose at least 10 phrases from the list provided and sprinkle them throughout your content.
