Parents and students:

As part of the English Curriculum, the students will work on a book report. They will be able to pick the book of their choice as long as it is first approved by me. Even though I want them to have the liberty to choose their book, I want them to be able to choose wisely; one that will challenge them but that they will be able to read in the amount of time given. 

READING THE BOOK:
Starting next week, all of the students should bring their books to class, because we will dedicate the last half hour of the 2nd period to read the book. Nevertheless, your child should also read at home. The book has to be a chapter book and the students should start summarizing each chapter in at least 2-3 sentences on loose-leaf paper. The summaries should be hand-written and they may write more the one chapter summary per loose-leaf paper.

THE OUTLINE OF THE BOOK REPORT:
            After they have read the book, their next step will be to organize what they are going to write about it in their report. Writing the basic elements down in an outline format will help them organize their thoughts. What will you include in the outline? The description should include the following elements:

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? Pick only the most important events.
a. Problem- what is the problem of the story?
b. Turning Point/Climax- what events lead to the conclusion?; describe a few of the more important things that happen to the main character as he/she works toward that goal or solution
c. Conclusion- how is the problem solved?
