Teachers love to assign book reports. Did you ever wonder why?
Sure, you could think of it as a cruel attempt to force you to
read. But it might be a little more than that! Your teacher's
goal is to broaden your understanding of the world and society.
That is what good books do! What Is Included in a Book Report?
Book report content will vary according to grade level. Middle
grade-level book reports will provide the basic details about a
book, a summary of the plot, and some comments regarding the
student's opinions and impressions. As students mature and
advance, the book reports should include a little more. As
students enter high school and higher grades, they will start to

messages about life and its important experiences. Students will
begin to share their own opinions about these messages (themes)
contained in books. Your Book Report Introduction The
