Information on Themes
&
Research

Score: • Discussion is organized around themes.
• Themes are eloquently phrased.
• Discussion of theme is coherently supported with cultural research and inference about characters and events from the novel.
• Inferences are supported with relevant specific detail.
• High level interpretation and analysis are woven into the presentation content. • Significant themes, persons or events are discussed, although the organizational plan may show some weaknesses:
• Theme may need better expression.
• Research may be awkwardly connected, rather than blended into supporting discussion of character, event, and theme.
• Some inferences may need more supporting detail, more depth of interpretation, or more insightful analysis. • Discussion of ideas lacks a good organizational plan:
• Important themes or sections of the presentation may be skipped.
• Statement of theme may be missing, awkwardly phrased, or too thinly supported.
• Detail may be too general or insignificant.
• Thinly researched detail of culture might be "tacked on," poorly related to the novel.
• Higher order thinking is insufficient, resulting in a presentation which is factual
rather than interpretive or analytical.

Oral
Presentation

Score: • Shows a unique and creative strategy to keep the interest and attention of the class.
• The content is well rehearsed and flows without gaps in timing.
• Speaker does not depend upon reading a script.
• Communication with the audience is direct and expressive. • A routine presentation may be used, or creative strategy may be attempted without complete success.
• Presentation shows some rehearsal with minor gaps in timing or uneven performance.
• Speaker may depend upon notes, or voice may be too soft, fast, or monotone.
• Eye contact may be uneven, or too brief to engage the audience fully. • The presentation needs more preparation and rehearsal.
• Obvious gaps in timing may create embarrassment.
• Speaker may simply read script rather than using a strategy to engage the audience, may speak too fast, monotone, or too softly. Reader may stumble, showing too little familiarity with the content.
• Eye contact is not enough to maintain communication. Speaker may face away from the audience. Audience may lose attention.
