Summary: After speaking about your exciting weekend activities, you got to share your out-of-class listing with others at the tables. We also explored different ways of presenting for a super book talk. Finally, you wrote reflections in your Google Doc about your progress in learning English. The questions are:

1. How did you participate in class today? Please describe as best you can.

2. What did you learn about your issue? Your speaking pairs’ issues? 

3. What are your next SMART (simple, manageable, attainable, reasonable, timely) learning goals? 

Your Super Book Talk Presentation Homework:

1. Choose the best graded reader that you have already taken notes on to make your Super Book Talk presentation. 

2. Review the Super Book Talk Guidelines for Success:

-Fulfill or do the Super Book Talk task
-Use some sentence variety with some challenging vocabulary
-Make effective use of relevant and accurate details from the book read
-Demonstrate a thorough understanding of the book read
-Make inferences from the book and have a clear focus
-Easy to listen to with a sense of voice

3. Digital sharing is best, like PowerPoint or Google Slides. 

4. Please email me with your attachment, or put your file in our shared Google file, and I will be notified. 

5. There are many students, and I would like to check and help with your English.

Group A 9 Students: Could you email me your Super Book Talk presentation file by Sunday, midnight, before Class 7, so I can check it? Please try to send your presentation draft earlier, so I do not have to check so many presentations on Monday morning. I might not be able to check everything.

Group B 8 Students: Please complete your usual listening to news and graded reader homework in your Google Doc by Sunday midnight before Class 7.

6. See some examples of Super Book Talk presentations from Chuo Law University students.

7. Please do not copy/paste the words from the book. It is better to summarize them as best you can in your own words. However, if there are some really cool phrases or sentences from the book you would like to share, please use “quotation marks.”

8. The title of the book, the author’s name, and your name need to be included.

9. Usually, each Super Book talk should last five to seven minutes, with time for questions and answers from the audience. 

10. Also, could you remember to make a thank you, question, and answer page at the end.
