Independent Reading Assignment #1

After reading your independent novel this semester, you are going to create a PowerPoint Presentation to give to the class during the 2nd quarter of the 1st semester. Presentations will begin October 21st. Your date to present will be chosen at random. If you have a conflict, you must tell me in advance so I can schedule you to present on a different day.

Students will work on their own with the novel they have chosen. We may or may not get through every presentation, or it may be extra credit to present. I will decide as we get closer to the end of the 1st quarter. Either way, you will turn in a printed copy of your PowerPoint to me with your presentation on it. The requirements are as follows:

There will be 15 slides in your presentation. The slides should be:
