[Barbara · Rating 3 out of 5]

Perfect for middle graders preparing to write and present reports, this introductory text describes several possibilities for sharing information with others, including speeches, newsletters, slideshows, podcasts or even a blog. The book opens with a section on how to conduct research and how to avoid plagiarism, making sure to cover research writing, presentation writing, persuasive writing, and narrative writing. Throughout all of the pages, readers are reminded to keep their audience in mind. Even experienced presenters can find something helpful in this book's pages.

[Hilary · Rating 1 out of 5]

The very busy layout of “Present What You Know,” detracts from the text, while the spare text provides such a shallow overview of the topics covered that it is questionable if the text is useful. Students new to speech-making or report-writing will not find enough substance here to offer significant guidance to create or deliver presentations. Perhaps the series, when read in its entirety, combines to serve as a solid foundation to research papers or oral presentations, but this individual volume does not stand well on its own.
