A perfect book report is possible if you follow these steps:
1. Understand teacher expectations. Follow them exactly. For instance, how many words or pages does s/he expect, as well as how detailed the report needs to be and any tips.
2. Organize your information. Charts can help. Start with the plot (main idea), then list important details up to the climax, then any detail that winds up the story.
3. Draft. Using your diagrams and start writing your rough draft.
4. Proofread. Edit your report by yourself and others.
5. Polish. Rewrite everything and turn it in. Even read it aloud to see if it's just like you want it.
Good luck!
