Title of My Book
Book Report
Due: Thursday May 5th, 2013
By: Your Name
Now that you have gathered important information about the plot,
setting, and characters in your book, you will be required to write a report
on that book. You will use the information you have found to answer the
following questions. Each answer should be in proper paragraph form, at
least one paragraph long, and double-spaced.
Your first paragraph will be short, perhaps just one or two sentences.
You will identify your book that you are reporting on, as well as the author’s
name and publishing information. You can outline the different sections of
your report that follow, as well. If you like, you may change the order of the
character, plot, literary devices, and setting paragraphs, but the review
paragraphs have to be at the end.
One paragraph will be about the main character. You could describe
the character in the first part, and include the other information in the
second part. Make a written character sketch of one of the main characters
in the book. A character sketch includes the following information: physical
characteristics, personality characteristics, leadership characteristics, things
that the character has learned, problems that the character encountered and
solved, whether they have reached their goal, or other interesting
information. Another paragraph will concern the antagonist – who (or what)
prevents the protagonist from reaching their goal.
Another paragraph will be about the setting. Describe the setting of
the book. This needs to include all the major places that the action or
dialogue occurs in, what time frame the story is set in, what events might
have happened before the story starts that are important to the book, and
how the setting might change throughout the book.
More paragraphs will be about the plot of the story, following what you
have researched about the inciting incident, rising action, and climax of the
book. You will have a paragraph that shows at least 3 examples of literary
devices that the author has used.
Finally, you will have a paragraph at the end that gives your opinion of
the book. Provide your personal review of the book. This will be your opinion
of the book after you have read it. It should include whether you liked or
disliked the book, backed up by specific examples of why you did or didn’t
like it, your favourite part of the book, your favourite quote from a character
in the book, and who you would recommend this book to.
Remember, the paragraphs about character, plot, literary devices, and
setting can be in any order, but the review paragraph has to be at the end.
Your book report will be written in the same format as it appears in
this document. This is so you can have experience writing reports in an
organized manner that is common in high school, college, university, and
work. Having a template to follow makes it easier for other people to read
your work and appreciate the effort you have put into it.
There are a few things to remember when typing a report on the
computer:
1.
always double-space
2.
use font size 12 only
3.
use a readable font (one of these ONLY: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica,
Times New Roman).
You will also be required to make a title page. See the first page of this
document for an example. You need to put your questions about the book on
a separate page at the end.
