• You will also need to open a tab with your Social Group Writing Task open. 
• Follow directions step-by-step from your teacher. 
• Do not copy and paste all of your work; please omit your name from the work you submit so everyones' work will be anonymous. 

2. Final Book Review

• This will be due Friday, 5/31 by 2:30PM, but you will present next Monday during class.

3. Rehearse Your Book Review 

• You will be presenting your slides to the class on MONDAY. 
• Each slide will be set for 15 seconds. You are expected to fill the 15 seconds of speaking time for each slide. 
• A rehearsal this weekend is highly suggested, even if you rehearse to a family member, friend, pet, or yourself in the mirror. Make sure you can speak for 15 seconds about each slide.

4. Catch Up: Essay
You received peer feedback from your classmates earlier. Put some of that into action and make revisions on your Social Group Writing Task.
