Laurie Said:

I have to write a 4 page book report for AP English class?

We Answered:

good grief 4 pages for an AP class - standards sure have dropped! I remember doing 5 or 6 pages (before computers grasshopper) in 5th grade.

Oh well the best format to organize your thoughts is to first review what the criteria is - are you supposed to write as a review but not give away crucial details or does it not matter.

You need to follow the tried and true format of :
1 - Tell them what you are going to tell them.
2 - tell them
3 - tell them what you told them.

This will ensure that you have a clear beginning middle and end and stay on topic. You can apply that to character development, setting, and story line.

If you back up and create an outline - I think that you will be able to expand on what you have already written - if you can't do that - AP is not what it used to be.

You can add comparisons to similar genre's (I hope you know what a genre is if you are in an AP class) or characters in literature.

If you can't write 4 pages on a book - the book is not complex enough for an AP course.
