Book Report
Task 5: Body
Writing your book report can be
an intimidating task. Let the
tools you’ve amassed so far—your
knowledge of the book and your
outline—do the heavy lifting for
you.
1. With your outline as a guide,
turn each of the elements into
sections or paragraphs.
2. Connect your paragraphs into
a cohesive narrative. Be sure to
use strong transitions between
paragraphs—your goal is to make
clear to the reader why you
presented the information in the
order that you did.
3.
Read through your book report
with a critical eye. Does each
topic sentence clearly summarize
the point of the paragraph? If
not, use this opportunity to
fine-tune it. Does the book
report’s organization work?
Don't be afraid to swap sections
or paragraphs to present a
stronger argument.
Congratulations! The hardest
part is behind you. Pat yourself
on the back and take a break. If
can spare the time, don’t even
think about your book report for
a day or two. This will help you
approach the next step with a
fresh eye.
Task 6: Introduction and
conclusion
The introduction and conclusion
reinforce the key points you
made in the body of your book
report.
1. Introduction. Think of
your introduction as the opening
statement an attorney would make
at a trial. Tell the jury—or in
this case, your readers—what
they are about to learn. Be sure
to include the book’s title and
author’s name, along with the
name of the publisher, date of
publication, and number of
pages.
2. Conclusion. Think of
your conclusion as the
attorney’s closing statement.
Emphasize the most important
information you want the reader
to know about the book. You may
also choose to use include a
brief discussion of your
impressions of the book.
Task 7: Final draft
Put the final touches on your
book report. Don’t be tempted to
skip these steps—nothing
detracts from a good book report
than grammar or spelling errors.
1. Run a spell-check on your
book report.
2. Print out your report and
read it from start to finish,
just the way your teacher will.
Note any typos or grammar
problems, and correct them right
away.
3. Print a corrected copy and
ask a parent or another trusted
person to give it a critical
read. Make any changes you think
are necessary.
4. Read it one more time to make
sure you didn’t introduce any
other errors.
5. Hand it in...
Congratulations!
