  5. Book Report Expectations • Lessons: the moral of the story, what you take away from it • Funniest scene: explain why in detail • Weirdest Scene: explain why in detail • Author’s Style: choices the author makes, the sentence structure, vocabulary, etc. • Similarities between you and the characters: explain both sides in detail • Connection to another book: explain both sides in detail • Connection to the world: explain both sides in detail • Point-of-View: first person (I), second person (you), third person (Harry Potter) • Suggested Audience: who should read this book? Is it appropriate for everyone?

  6. Important information to remember • You must cover one book report expectation in a body paragraph (three total because you have three body paragraphs) • Your essay must be typed or handwritten very neatly – I will not be printing out your essay for you! • If your printer breaks, computer emergency, etc. – e-mail me your essay until you can bring in a copy/handwrite it • Double-check for proper capitalization, usage, punctuation, and spelling (C.U.P.S.)
