Here's a basic guideline for your book presentations. Ideally each section should cover one or two slides, no more. The entire presentation should last  around 10-15 minutes. It's always a good idea to practice with friends or record yourself to ensure you are within the time limits.

Also, remember the project will be part of your marks for the third term and that you can contact me via e-mail or in the comments for help, suggestions and questions.

BOOK REPORT 1º BACHILLERATO 1.      INTRODUCTION Include a brief context about how the book was written, i.e. historical period and some biographical aspects of the author that are relevant to the story. 2.      CHARACTERS Give an overview of the main characters in the book. If your project is about a poetry or non-fiction book, give details about what subject it deals with. 3.      PLOT Give an overview of the plot of the book.  --If you are going to include spoilers, please warn that you are doing so in advance.  --If you are doing a non-fiction book, give an overview of the thesis of the author and what you can learn in the book.  --If you are working on a poetry book, give an overview of what topics it deals with and highlight a couple of examples of the kind of literary tropes and style it uses (how the language is used i.e. adjectives, metaphors, long/short sentences, sophisticated or colloquial words, capitalization, etc.). 4.      IMPACT a) Give an overview of your impression of the book. You must explain if you think the book is successful in engaging the reader, if you liked its prose/language or if the points it makes are convincing or interesting. b) You can also talk here about what impact it had in the general public and specialized critics if you can do research on such things (that includes if the book became a bestseller, received any nominations or awards, or if it has been adapted to film, theatre or TV). 5.      RECOMMENDATION Would you recommend it to others? Why? Try to be specific about the type of target reader you think should read this book: age, gender, interests, etc.
