and the back of the title page.)

After each one, do not forget to insert links to information
you think can make my reading of the report more
enjoyable and understandable.

PLOT SUMMARY
PARAGRAPHS


Plot Summary Paragraph

Here are the main points to cover:
•
•
•
•

What is the main character trying to do?
What different experiences do the characters
go through? Mention the series of events in
a paragraph form with at least three links.
What is the outcome of the book?
etc.
ADVICE
 Make sure you cover all of the
major parts of the plot. You might
have to go back through the book,

chapter by chapter, and make a few
notes. Then you will create the links to
support the information found.
COMMENT PARAGRAPH


Team Impressions and Conclusion

Paragraph
Simply talk about what you liked or did not like about

the book. Use this paragraph as your conclusion. It
should summarize your overall impressions of the
book and bring the report to a close. You should
always include links in your electronic final product.
•

Start with a sentence that states that you are
now writing a conclusion. (For example:
"Our final thoughts on 'A Fine Balance' are
that it is a fascinating book but we are not
entirely sure if we completely understood
the thematic message of the book."
COMMENT PARAGRAPH -2
• Restate your reasons why you
liked and/or disliked the book
using different words and
links.
• Write two sentences that talk
about the books good points
and weak points with links.
• Write a sentence or two about
what you learned from the
book with link.
• Close with a sentence that
states whether you would
recommend the book to others.
FINAL INSTRUCTIONS
Don't be afraid to give your own honest impressions of the
book. After all, if you've read the book thoroughly, you are
entitled to your own interpretation of it.
Typically, your book report should not exceed two doublespaced pages, and it should be somewhere between 600
and 800 words in length.

It is compulsory to add, at least, 3 links for the biography
of the author, 2 for the context of the story, 2 for the main
characters, 2 for the secondary characters, 4 for the
summary and 2 for the comment. That gives you a total of
15 electronic links that should be included in your book
report.
EVALUATION RUBRIC

to assess their work.
