This document outlines the suggested mechanics and assessment tools for book talks. It describes a process where students give book talks in 3 minute sessions, followed by 5 minutes of questions. Listeners then write their feedback on a half sheet of paper, including a question, takeaway, and rating of the book talker. Book talkers also evaluate listeners. The process involves multiple rounds with different books. Evaluation forms are provided to rate book talkers and listeners on criteria such as English fluency, voice, and attention. The goal is to provide feedback to improve students' book talking and listening skills.
