Next week we will have the oral and listening exams.  Today I handed out the assignment and the rubric for the oral test, which is included below:

Spring Oral Exam #1 – book Review

This time I’m going to ask you to do a book review.    I highly recommend that you record the presentation. If you want to present live to the class, you can.  Make sure I can hear and understand you.  The presentation should last from 3 to 5 minutes and cover the following:

·         What’s the name of the book? Who is the author?  Who is the illustrator (if there is an illustrator)?

·         What country is the author from?

·         Who are the main characters in the story?

·         What is the plot? Please use time order words to tell me what happens first, next, then, last.

·         Did you like the story?  If so, why?  If not, why not?

·         What happens in your favorite part? 

·         Is there any part you didn’t like?  What happens in the part you don’t like?

·         Should I read it?  Would it be good for adults to read?  Little kids?  Big kids?  Why?

·         How many stars do you give the book out of ten?

I hope that every review will answer each of these questions, and more if you have more to say. The grading rubric for the test will be as follows:
