A ‘classical’ discussion of a book includes: plot genre (romantic novel? psychological thriller? etc.) explanation of the title characterization (psychological portrait of the characters) time and place of action (where does the story take place, how much time passes in the book) possibly the type of language used (poetic, flowery, factual) some info on the author and possibly other works by him or her (only when relevant!)

Preparing for questions after your presentation Think of the reasons why this book is so special to you. Try and think of questions that your audience might want to put to you. Now prepare your power point presentation. Use at least 8 slides. In case you don’t have access to a beamer and laptop, prepare notes on so-called index cards which you can hide in your hands while speaking. You don’t know yet how to use powerpoint?

Some final reminders: 1. Check your equipment in time! 2. Structure your presentation: first I will tell you about…, then about…, finally I will… 3. Remember to look at your audience when you speak 4. Use illustrations in your power point and hand- outs for the audience!
