  1. Double click on the Power Point ICON on your computer. With the slide they give you, make a title slide. Put the title and authorof the book in larger type. At the bottom of that slide, put your name, date and hour.
  1. On the right, you will see your choice of slide layouts. Put the Genre and a brief description of the genre on this slide.
  1. Click on another new slide. Put the Setting in large type. In smaller print, put a short description of the setting.
  1. Click on another new slide. Put the Main Character’s Name in large type. Then, after the name in smaller print, put a short description as to who the person is in the story.
  1. Click on another new slide. Pick at least 2 of your important events. This will be a summary of your book. Title the slide either “Important Events” or “Summary”. You need to make sure each of your 2 important events has a bullet. (Put each event on a different slide)
  1. Next, go to the connections section on your bookmark. Title the slide “Connections”. Then, I want you to pick at least 2 of your connections and write about them. Make sure you fully explainwhat happened in the book and what it made you think about. (Again, each connection on a separate slide)
  1. The final slide of your power point will be an evaluation/recommendation slide. You can just put “Recommendation” for a title. You need to evaluate the book anddecide whether you recommend it or not. To evaluate the book, decide whether you like it or not and state why! Then, base your recommendation on that evaluation.

Note: You will have a minimum of 9 slides.
