Reading Project - Checklist 1 - Presentations

Here are just a few questions  - actually a checklist -  to help you prepare and assess your Presentation:

When we introduce the author and historical background:
1. We selected aspects that are relevant for the interpretation of the book/short story
2. After the presentation the audience will be able to establish the connections between author/background and book/short story

About the connections/illustrations:
1. We have discussed them in the group
2. Presentation is the result of that discussion, not individual points of view
3. We are happy with our work mainly because we discovered many new things.

About the Beautiful Passages:
They are either:
1. illustrated and/or
2. read expressively and/or
3. dramatised and/or
4. explained in terms of style/technique


If we have a Powerpoint:
1. We're NOT going to read the slides
2. Most slides are IMAGES that help us illustrate/explain some point
3. If we do have some text, we are quite sure it's just topics
4. Text/topics are 'readable' i.e. right font / right colour / right background

All in all:
1. We are confident because we read the book/short story and are well-prepared
2. We are confident our colleagues will be curious and will most probably read the book (or at least see the film!)

I tried to keep it simple. Add other questions if you must. That would be lovely :)
