5	Delivery shows great attention to... tone of voice (varying it to keep interest and avoid monotone) facial expression (you look confident, and interested and engaged in your topic!) posture clear enunciation appropriate speed of speech (slower than you think to be clear for instructive broadcasts!) eye contact (script was obviously rehearsed enough so that you can look up from it often)	Show is full of the kinds of details that keep the audience’s attention and show what is really important about the book. But it is careful not to drone on and on about little details. It captures interest by providing an exciting focus and examples or details, but it doesn't tell the whole story. It includes the presenter's personal reaction and reflection upon the story.	Clever consideration and effort is applied to create or select images or props to present to viewers, keep viewer interest and emphasize important points. Images are "clean," well produced, and well used. If necessary, you used software tools to create the images you needed. If you use images that you found on the Internet, you gave credit to the source by supplying the URL (Web address) and date, title and author of Web page. Include the date you accessed the page. (If you couldn't find all of those details, at least you supplied the items in bold.)	You kept up with your responsibilities for this project by showing up on time, completing tasks, and keeping appointments. No one needed to nag you to follow steps for completion! Even though you are a young student, you handled this big project by planning well and showing maturity in following through!	The order of the show was well planned because you used a storyboard (looks like a comic strip) that indicated what visuals would be on the screen as text was read. The speaker uses an order that works well and makes the audience want to find out what’s coming next. Show begins with a good hook and ends with a "bang" that makes people want to read the book!
3	Somewhat clear voice and straight posture. Eye contact is attempted. Speech is delivered with some expression and gestures. Some confidence and practice shown. Spoken too quickly.	The audience usually knows what is meant. Some parts would be better when a little more is told about what is important. Or SO much detail is provided that it's hard for the audience to know what's important. It is partly clear what this book meant to you as a reader and why it was so good.	1 or 2 images or props were used in the show. They help emphasize important points, although the image quality or prop selection needed work. Internet images were supplied, but without giving sufficient details to credit to the source properly.	You needed a wee bit of nagging to keep going on this worthwhile project. Maybe you were giving up when it got challenging? Needed to think through you planning better.	The order of the speech makes sense most of the time. The intro of the conclusion could be improved. More attention to flow was needed.
1	Voice not clear. Posture is distracting. No eye contact with audience. Speech is delivered with little expression or no gestures. Speed was not quite right. Needed more practice.	Hard to understand what is meant or what the book is all about. Too much detail so that it loses audience... or not nearly enough. You needed to expand your explanation about why this is an important book to you by providing a personal reaction.	Not much effort was supplied to select and scan or create images ...or put props into the presentation. If used, Internet images were supplied, but without giving credit to the source.	You needed many reminders and seemed to expect other people to keep this project going. Did you miss appointments or fail to follow through with teacher(s) and other students involved?	The order of the speech is jumbled and confused. Makes one feel dizzy!
