Focal points
What is a focal point? - a particular part of the book that you want to highlight in your presentation. This can be about several things: how the author's life has influenced the book; the impact this book has had on other works of fiction; the impact it has on culture in general; what theme really stands out to you?

How do you find a good one? - Have a look online and google your book. What do other people say about it? Is there anything you thought stood out? Is there a particular way of storytelling going on? What do you think the author wants to teach/tell the readers?  Are you reading a classic or highly popular novel - try having a look at www.sparknotes.com or www.litcharts.com

Other sites you can try: bookrags, thebestnotes, novelguide, shmoop

Slide 3 - Tekstslide

Example
I recently read the book Renegades by Marissa Meyer. It is about an apocalyptic world where superheroes rule after they won a battle with supervillains. The main character is a villain going undercover to destroy what the superheroes have built. 

My focal point could be: how does the author establish morality in a world where good vs bad is the same as hero vs villain?

While reading I learned that the heroes lie and bully, and the villains just want to live a life free of oppression. Both sides do things considered good and both sides do things considered bad. I've learned that it is not so much about what makes a hero, but more about the 'victor' deciding on the rules. In my presentation, I would give examples from the book to support my focal point.
