Prepare a two-minute interview with one of the characters in the book you read. Pretend that this character is being interviewed by a talk show host. You may do this project with a partner, but be sure to write a script before taping. You may choose to do a "live" version of this. While your presentation is important, your script is what will be graded.

Work with a partner to write questions and answers for an interview with one of you being the interviewer and the other the main character. Dressing as the character is optional.

Oral communication is a prepared, purposeful presentation designed to increase knowledge, to foster understanding, or to promote change in the listeners' attitudes, values, beliefs, or behaviors. Oral communication takes many forms. This rubric is specifically designed to evaluate oral presentations of a single speaker at a time and is best applied to live or video-recorded presentations. For panel presentations or group presentations, it is recommended that each speaker be evaluated separately. This rubric best applies to presentations of sufficient length such that a central message is conveyed, supported by one or more forms of supporting materials and includes a purposeful organization. An oral answer to a single question not designed to be structured into a presentation does not readily apply to this rubric. Courtesy of AAC&U: http://aacu.org/value/index.cfm
