Expanded book report

// January 14th, 2010 // No Comments » // Book reports

Expanded book report: provides informa­tion about the book, discusses characterization and plot, and gives an opinion or a recommendation. This is the most complex type of book report.

The expanded book report increases the intri­cacy of the basic book report. It includes a comprehensive discussion of the elements of fiction: characterization, story plot, setting, and theme. The writer forms an opinion about the novel and then supports it with examples and details from the reading.

Students familiar with writing the various types of expository essays and persuasive essays are ready to compose book reports. Instruction for writing book reports follows the same process used for writing essays.

The Book report requires students to state a reaction to, or opinion of, a book they have read, and support it with particulars and details. We use a traditional essay form starting with an introductory (information) paragraph, supporting paragraphs (the body), and a concluding (opinion) paragraph. The four main parts of a book are identified and discussed: the story plot, the characters, the setting, and the theme.
