WHY do teachers give book review tasks?

Apart from they want to instill in you the flair for reading, they want you to widen your knowledge about the world we live in, more so, acquaint you with an author’s way with words. And whether they tell it to you or not, they want to learn from your book report!

When you are told to do a book review, before you start browsing the pages of any book, consider these basic steps first, so that you will come up with a fantastic book report.

Find the “greatest one.”

The best paperback doesn’t solely refer to the works of William Shakespeare: It may mean an author whose writings you love to read, a book that leaves an impression, or something that has to do with your passion. Libraries are the best sources of materials for any book review assignment, as they have everything to feed the mind. You may also ask your classmates for some suggestions and to avoid “repetitions.” Make certain that it is “the only one” in your class.

“Thou shall not copy other’s works!” Never copy someone else’s written or published work, as plagiarism over the Internet is a cybercrime, while on campus, it’s touted as an academic fraud. Copying of a book review is a serious offense and a student may be subjected to suspension when found guilty. Through the help of modern computer software, teachers nowadays can easily trace if a book report submitted to them is really authentic or just rehashed.

“Read not for pleasure, but for a purpose.” Choose a material for your book review that interests you a lot, so that going through the pages won’t be a burden but pure enjoyment. Have a breakdown of the number of pages you want to read every day, so you’ll have a clear view of what you are reading. Calendar or schedule your activities to check if you can beat your deadline or not.

“Write, write and write.” When making a book report, it’s important to take down very good notes—the storyline, background, characters, etc.; your reactions to specific events in the book; as well as questions that came into your mind while reading some pages or chapters. Writing on paper even the minuscule details of your book review will help you to “systematize” all your thoughts.

Don’t just dwell on elaborating the book’s summary. Put more substance on the story line, the characters and your reactions: Be like an experienced evaluator.

Extract all your creative juices, and don’t forget to have fun while doing your book review.
