Book or Movie Review
| Purpose |
 |
To provide a commentary on a book you have read or a movie you have seen. Your goal is to persuade or discourage the audience to read the book or view the movie. |
| When preparing |
|
Select a book or a movie that will be topical or of interest to the audience. |
|
|
Prepare a mini speech around the item you have selected, remembering to have a proper opening, body and conclusion. | |
|
|
As with all assignments, prepare and rehearse to ensure correct timing. | |
| Before the meeting begins |
|
Inform Chairman 1 of your title, and how you would like him/her to introduce you. |
| What to do during your assignment |
|
You may wish to show the audience a copy of a book, but don't let such a prop become a distraction or the focus of the speech. |
|
|
Don't summarise the plot. Rather highlight the nature of the book or movie, its intriguing aspects and what you feel were its good and poor aspects. | |
|
|
This speech should be delivered with minimal notes in a style which reflects your passion for for what you are presenting. Remember to use pauses for impact and to give people a chace to absorb the significance of your message. | |
|
|
When you are finished, hand back to Chairman 1. | |
| That is the end of your assignment. You will be evaluated by the General Evaluator |
