Digital Book Talk Project for Any Book

Do you need an engaging and fun way to get your students reading AND sharing the books they’ve read?  Then you need a BOOK TALK PROJECT.  These Book Talk templates in Google Slides give your students the opportunity to share their favorite books and try to convince their classmates to read the books too!  This resource includes teacher directions and Google Slides™ templates in a Fiction and Nonfiction Book format.  The templates make it easy for students to create a complete presentation that gives some details about the book and a chance to “sell” a well-loved book to their classmates. 

This Digital Book Talk Project allows students to practice 21st-century skills AND speaking and listening skills in an engaging and authentic way. With this resource, you will provide your students with a Google Slides™  template that outlines everything they need to include to create a complete presentation.  The Google Slides templates come in a Fiction and Nonfiction option. Both options are available WITHOUT the student presentation option - students can just share their presentation with the teacher for independent reading accountability.
