Bookshare Information!

       Bookshares are a chance for you to share with the class the books that you read in your free time. You are free to read any sort of book that you would like for bookshares, but I would like for you to read a variety of styles or genre of literature throughout the year.
      You have between three minutes and five minutes in which to present your book. The back of this sheet details how you will be scored. Please make sure to focus your report  on one of the elements described below.
 

  A. Characters: What motivates the main characters? What are their good points and their bad points? What can you learn  from the main characters that will help you in your life?

  B. Setting:   How does the author describe the setting?     How does the author use the setting as an important part of the story? Would you like to travel to or live in this  setting?

  C. Style: What makes the author's writing style unique and/or  special? Does the author's style help you enjoy the book? What can you learn from the author's style that will make you  a better writer?

  D. Plot: What is the major crisis in the plot? How did the author develop the story in the lead up to the crisis and was  the crisis resolved in a way that you liked?
