Homework: Book Report

This week's homework is to write a review of a book that you have read recently. If you don't still have the book lying around to check details, you can always refer back to Amazon.com to help you with spellings of names or who the author is and so forth.

I'm expecting a full page of work. I'm also expecting it to have been PROOF READ - that means you check it carefully and fix all your spelling mistakes and punctuation errors before you hand it in.

If you'd like some help in knowing what a book report should look like, here are some examples I've done in the past:

You need to include:

THE TITLE
THE AUTHOR
THE ILLUSTRATOR
WHO THE MAIN CHARACTER IS
OTHER IMPORTANT CHARACTERS
WHERE THE STORY IS SET
SUMMARY OF WHAT HAPPENS IN THE PLOT
COMMENTS ON WHAT YOU LIKED ABOUT IT (Did you identify with the main character/was it an exciting plot/was the writing style funny or exciting?)
