A book report is much simpler than writing a book review; here you discuss the contents of the book provide background information about the author and his/her background to help the reader understand the author’s point of view.

An outline is like a skeleton of your book report; it helps hold everything together. Refer to the notes you took while reading to organize the information and figure out a logical structure --- introduction, body and conclusion.

Outlines are flexible and can be changed later, so if you need to add or subtract information, you can easily do that.

The next step, of course, is the writing part itself. Your first few attempts will form the draft where your ideas will be presented as paragraphs but make sure that you do not take any academic stress.

Proofread and edit each draft until you come up with a piece of creative writing.

Start with the introduction of the report, add the book’s title and the name of the author, describe the setting of the book in a few sentence, introduce the main characters and mention the purpose of the book.

Coming to the body paragraphs, summarize the book in the first paragraph, provide an example from the book in your second paragraph and lastly, include a quote from the book in the third paragraph.

For your conclusion, summarize the points mentioned earlier.
