A book report is an exposition giving a short summary of a book and a reaction to it. While it includes some details, a book report is usually tailored to its readers. Emphasis usually on a whole falls on aspects of the book related to the subject matter seen in an academic group of studies. Expository writing is a mode of writing in which the purpose of the author is to inform, explain, describe, or define his or her subject to the reader. ...
Format
Book reports usually follow a set format but may vary in length and complexity depending on the academic level at which they are set and the importance of the individual assignment. They are commonly assigned in primary and secondary schools.
Plan The plan of the book report may vary depending on the type of book read (fiction or non-fiction) and/or the age of the students. For grades 8-9 a book report typically consists of a title, a summary, favorite and least favorite parts and characters, about the author of the book, and a recommendation.
Length Length varies depending on the age groups of the student. A younger student may be expected to write a single page summarizing the book and its contents, but an older student may be expected to identify advanced topics such as symbolism and the messages that the author is conveying.
Time required The time required for book report research and writing may vary from one to several weeks depending on the number of pages of the book to read and the complexity required by the teacher. The teacher will then choose how many weeks you have to do the report.
