Avi Booktalk Rubric 
I am placing a copy of the rubric on this page which shows the criteria that you will use to evaluate two of your fellow students. You will also need to print out the rubric. Remember, this is the same criteria other students will be using to evaluate your work so you want to be familiar with it.
You will note that there is a bonus category -- Check it out if you get a chance!
