Module 9 Overview

    Be reading your assigned book for presentation #4.

    You are responsible for presenting an excerpt of approximately 3-4 minutes from this book that at one time has been considered a classic of youth literature.  Your presentation should include a 2-3 minute introduction to your material.

    Give us context for the excerpt. We need enough of the plot overview to know where this excerpt occurs and tell us any information that we might need.

    Tell us about the book: When was the book written? By who? Was there a reason? What is the writing like? What are themes found in the book? Why do you think it might have been a classic? Should it still be considered one and read by kids today?

    Try to keep the whole presentation under 6 minutes.
