Good luck!

PS - If you haven't chosen your book, make sure it is something you will enjoy and that will capture your interest. Get your own copy and make annotations in the margins or use post it notes for the annotations. I know that the site advises against making notes in the book, but I think it is helpful provided it is YOUR book. Post it notes are a great alternative and they can be placed right on the page you want to come back to with you note or annotation written on the post it.

How do i write a good book report?

We Answered:

Write a summary of the book, emphasizing the exciting parts, but not giving too much away. For example, if two teens were involved in a murder and ran away to another state, you would say, "The two teens were involved in a serious crime, forcing them to run away.

From Student's Guide to Book Reports:
You have read your book. Your next step will be to organize what you are going to say about it in your report. Writing the basic elements down in an outline format will help you to organize your thoughts.What will you include in the outline? Follow whatever instructions your teacher has given you. If you are on your own, however, the following guidelines should help.

Let's assume for the moment that you've chosen a work of fiction. We'll start with a description of the book. The description should include such elements as:

1. The setting—where does the story take place? Is it a real place or an imaginary one? If the author does not tell you exactly where the story is set, what can you tell about it from the way it is described?
2. The time period—is the story set in the present day or in an earlier time period? Perhaps it is even set in the future! Let your reader know.
3. The main character(s)—who is the story mostly about? Give a brief description. Often, one character can be singled out as the main character, but some books will have more than one.
4. The plot—what happens to the main character? WARNING! Be careful here. Do not fall into the boring trap of reporting every single thing that happens in the story. Pick only the most important events. Here are some hints on how to do that. First, explain the situation of the main character as the story opens. Next, identify the basic plot element of the story--is the main character trying to achieve something or overcome a particular problem? Thirdly, describe a few of the more important things that happen to the main character as he/she works toward that goal or solution. Finally, you might hint at the story's conclusion without completely giving away the ending.

The four points above deal with the report aspect of your work. For the final section of your outline, give your reader a sense of the impression the book made upon you. Ask yourself what the author was trying to achieve and whether or not he achieved it with you. What larger idea does the story illustrate? How does it do that? How did you feel about the author's style of writing, the setting, or the mood of the novel. You do not have to limit yourself to these areas. Pick something which caught your attention, and let your reader know your personal response to whatever it was.

After you've described your book, express some of your thoughts about what you've read. What seemed to be the author's main reason for writing the book? What was the most interesting thing you learned about the book's subject? Why did you find it interesting? You might also give your opinion on how the subject was presented. Did the author hold your interest?

Remember! Whether you are writing about fiction or non-fiction you must be sure to recognize the main idea or ideas in the book. So be sure that you have a good understanding of it before you begin writing. Keep the book beside you while you are writing your report so that you can refer to it when necessary.

how to write a good report?

We Answered:

The basic format for a report is:

1. A couple paragraphs about what the report contains.
2. The contents of the report.
3. A couple paragraphs summarizing the contents

The couple of introductory paragraphs should set the stage for the rest of the report. For example:

"This report is based on research conducted in march 2007 with 26 children aged 7 to 10. As we conducted the research, we found that children would respond, etc, etc."

In the main body of the report, list exactly what you did, the types of tests that were conducted and the results you recorded. At the end of the main body, provide some analysis. For example:

"Children who were shown the flash application for only five seconds were only 46 percent successful in remembering the information. Each additional second the children were exposed to the information led to an five-to-eight percent increase in information retention, culminating with 98 percent of the children remembering the information after a 15-second exposure. This shows that almost all children could use this flash application for learning, if the time settings are set appropriately."

At the end of your report, wrap up your findings in two short paragraphs. Your teacher will appreciate it if you keep things short and concise.

Good luck!
