Book reports are deployed to measure how well students learn to understand what they read. In its simplest form, book report is retelling of a story; sometimes, a personal opinion on the story is also required. In contemporary academic curriculum, book reports are not limited solely to language arts. The students are often asked to compose reports on books that are related to philosophy, psychology, social science etc. Some teachers prefer to provide students with a precise outline on how they should proceed with their book report; others allow more freedom in this process.
A book reports focuses on a summary of what the author says in the book, and only superficially comments on the reader's view of what is said by the author and how it is said. When writing a book report it is important to come up with an account of the book's subject matter and stick to a descriptive writing while avoiding sliding into analysis of the book. A good book report has to be well organized and inform the reader about all the major plot components of the book.
Example structure of a book report:
I. Introduction
-Provide name of the book, the author, the publishing information. -Inform the reader how the book is structured.
-Tell the major points or argument of the book.
II. Summary of Content
-Break down the book into sections and summarize the major points in each of the section and how it fits into the overall structure of the book.
-Make sure each section of the book is given a proportional weight in your report. If some sections are longer than the others so should be the amount of space provided in your report be different for summarizing different sections of the book.
III. The conclusion
Tell the reader about things and concepts in the book you have liked or disliked. Probably, this section should be shorter than the others; don't forget that the reader is more interested in finding out what the book is about than in your subjective opinion on it.
