TITLE OF YOUR BOOK REPORT

A book report is one form of persuasive writing; it’s an opportunity to give your opinion or reaction about a book you have read. It can be as short as a single paragraph, or it can be longer. Your first step in writing a book report is to read your book carefully and thoughtfully. If you need to, take notes to help you remember important points. Next, decide if you want to write about the plot, characters, setting, or theme of the story. Then, write a topic sentence for each paragraph, and include several supporting ideas within the paragraph. Make sure you include the title of the book and the author’s name someplace in the report. Close with your opinion of the book, and whether or not you would recommend it to others. Your name Your teacher’s name Name of the course 星期日, 四月 8, 2018

TITLE OF YOUR ESSAY

Essays are written to explain a process, examine something, or argue for or against a point. The opening paragraph of your essay should contain a thesis statement, as well as capture your reader’s attention and interest. Remember the adage, “You’ll never get another chance to make a good first impression.” State the main idea or topic of the paragraph in a single sentence if you can. Include at least two ideas that support your topic sentence. Provide specific and interesting details about the topic. If you need more than one paragraph to develop your topic, be sure to begin each new paragraph with a transition phrase or sentence. Your closing paragraph should connect the important points of your essay. You can either answer any remaining questions not previously covered, or you may want to leave your readers with a thought to ponder on their own! Name of your College or University
