Helpful Hints In Making A Book Report
- Read the assigned book not just once. A book report requires a thorough and intelligent understanding of a certain book. It is suggested to read the assigned book twice or more for you to be able to fully grasp what the book is trying to say and will make your writing smooth-sailing.
- If there are given guide questions, understand them fully. Sometimes, instructors give guide questions that you need to answer in your book report. Carefully read and comprehend the questions and provide ample answers to them.
- While reading the book, take down notes. Important information are scattered in the book that may be needed in your report. Jot all what seem to be relevant and use them as sources in the course of your paper writing.
- If asked to write a standard book report, follow this format: Introduction, a background of the book including the author's bio, and summary of the book; the Body that includes the details of the book such as the setting, characters, plot, and the main idea of the book; and the Evaluation and Analysis that will gauge your deep understanding of the book.
- Be consistent. Do not just blurt out ideas and information out of the blue. Stick to your decided theme and structure and that will make your book report clear and easy to comprehend and this will also apply to other future paper writing endeavors.
