 8C Book Review Template and Google Slide due on Sunday May 10

- Presentation will start on Monday, May 11. Each presentation should be 5min to 8min long. Nothing longer

- Give your recommendation in the last 30sec of the presentation. Rate the book out of five stars

e.g. This is the worst book I have ever read in my entire life. It is boring, and the plot is uneventful. The ending does not make sense because the villain actually survives the battle and rules the world and no one lives happily ever after.  

No star!

8C

Share with parents: when buying something expensive (car, condo, house) and need to borrow money from the Bank of Kwok, keep in mind that you should

* higher monthly payment (as little as $25 more) and a higher down payment will let you pay off the car/house faster. I pay off my house in TEN years

• be nice to your parents so they can help you with the downpayment. Kwok Senior did

• the bank wants you to pay as little as possible (monthly, and down payment) so they can profit from you for the rest of your life.

- Math: the Raymond questions

- finish tech project. Learn how to add a video in the slide, like the one below
