High school presentation. Creative ideas?

High school presentation. Creative ideas? I need to do an academic presentation for one of my classes. I want to know how I can make it creative, but unique, because anyone can do a powerpoint/slideshow, show video/song etc I'm in my last year of high school, so i want this to be good. plus, my teacher is marking it hard, so i need to go above and beyond. The presentation is on a famous book, so any ideas to make it creative would greatly be appreciated. The creative components should be fairly short, not more than 5 mins. And it's independent, so I don't want to act out or dress up. Thanks!

1. Do you have any favorite books? If so, you can pick one of your favs and go from there. Depending upon where/when the book takes place, you can add some "historical" information- like what was the fashion back then, what 'songs' or musical pieces were popular, what were the 'current events?' You can tie in music (another media) and perhaps photos of the popular fashions. If the book was made into a movie- what versions are available? If possible, you can add a movie clip to your presentation. I hope this helps.
2. Why don't you make a video? You probably have WIndows Movie Maker on your computer. It is fairly easy to use. Create some kind of video about at least parts of the book. You could even make it a highly stylized music video.
