THE FIRST PARAGRAPH SUMMARIZES THE BOOK IN 7 - 12 COMPLETE SENTENCES. USE A Story Map.doc TO HELP YOU INCLUDE THE SETTING, PROBLEM, GOAL, AND RESOLUTION. CHOOSE CAREFULLY AND INCLUDE ONLY THE MOST IMPORTANT DETAILS IN YOUR SUMMARY.

THE SECOND PARAGRAPH TELLS ABOUT THE MOST INTERESTING CHARACTER OR THE MOST INTERESTING SITUATION IN THE BOOK. THIS PARAGRAPH NEEDS TO INCLUDE REASONS YOU FOUND THE CHARACTER OR SITUATION INTERESTING. AGAIN, THIS PARAGRAPH NEEDS TO BE BETWEEN 7 - 12 SENTENCES IN LENGTH.

EVALUATE THE BOOK IN THE THIRD PARAGRAPH. TELL HOW WELL YOU LIKED THE BOOK, MAKING SURE TO LIST AT LEAST THREE SPECIFIC REASONS DETAILING WHY YOU FEEL THE WAY YOU DO. REMEMBER TO INCLUDE SPECIFIC EXAMPLES ILLUSTRATING YOUR REASONS.
EXAMPLE: I LIKED THE BOOK BECAUSE THE AUTHOR REALLY USED EXCELLENT DESCRIPTIONS. FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN THE AUTHOR WROTE: "THE MOIST, DARK, SPOOKY CAVE WAS FULL OF DOOM AND GLOOM," I FELT SCARED AND REALLY FELT LIKE I WAS INSIDE A CREEPY CAVE.

FINALLY, MAKE A LIST OF 10 NEW OR INTERESTING WORDS THAT YOU ENCOUNTERED WHILE READING YOUR BOOK. DEFINE THE WORDS IN YOUR OWN WORDS. YOU MAY USE A DICTIONARY, BUT DO NOT COPY THE DEFINITION WORD FOR WORD. THE BOOK REPORT MUST BE WRITTEN IN YOUR VERY BEST CURSIVE PENMANSHIP. WRITE ONLY ON ONE SIDE OF THE PAPER. BE SURE TO LEAVE A ONE INCH MARGIN ON THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE OF THE PAPER AND AT THE BOTTOM.

DO NOT NUMBER THE PARAGRAPHS AND DO NOT SKIP SPACES BETWEEN THE PARAGRAPHS.
