How To Write A Book Report

A book report is a factual explanation of a book's subject next with the reader's response. It generally includes information regarding the book's author, the publisher, and an outline of the key topics and elements.

Your academic level may require you to differ on the length and difficulty of your report.  Teachers may even have you follow a specific pattern on making one.

To start constructing your book report, consider the following:

1.       Check your project requirements – this is what's expected of you.

• Check with your teacher, ask questions.

e.g.    When is the book report due?

Is the report on a specific book?

Are there length requirements?

2.       Choose a book – if the teacher did not specify a book for you to read.

• Make sure that the book you choose falls on the guidelines that your teacher provided.


• Choose a book that appeals you; this will make things easier for you to draw out your reactions.

3.       Start READING – while you're at it, be guided with the following questions:

• What is the setting?


• When does the story take place?


• Who are the main characters?


• What is the plot of the story?


• Does the story include a problem or a conflict? How is it resolved?


• Does the author use any recurring themes or symbolism? How do these literary devices contribute to the story?

4.       Make your OUTLINE – start making your framework to make your writing easier by organizing your  thoughts and ideas.

• Start with the BASIC INFORMATION OF THE BOOK

Title

Author

Publisher

Year published

Number of pages

• SUMMARY

Setting

Time period

Characters

Plot summary

Conflict and resolution

Recurring themes; symbolism

5.       Make your BODY

• Use your outline as your guide and transform them to paragraphs.


• Bind your paragraphs to form a unified narrative.


• Summarize your paragraphs that it clearly brings out the thought that you want to convey.

6.       Construct your INTRODUCTION and CONCLUSION – this will emphasize the elements in your BODY.

• INTRODUCTION

This will serve as your opening statement; you will be stating to your readers what they are in for.

• CONCLUSION

This will be the part where the message you would want to convey to your readers will be expressed with regards to the book. Stress on the important notes you want the reader to know about the book.

If the REACTION is not a different part of the requirement, you may include it here. Your impressions on the arguments supporting the writer's work will be added here.

The reaction should be guided by the following questions:

e.g.      Was the book well written?

Has the author written same books as this?

Can the book be put in a good word for?

You're now ready to make your FINAL DRAFT!!

1.       Spell check! Correct your grammar and punctuation marks. These little details are significant figures in your book report.

2.       Proofread your report. This gives you the chance to look through your thoughts in your paragraphs, remove redundant ideas, and reconsider some ideas that you might have skipped. Have someone you trust read your report analytically.
