Book Report Writing
Guidelines
In the first paragraph mention what book you read.
Why did
you choose that book? If you weren't able to read the
entire book
(if for example the book was too long and/or too detailed)
mention what
parts you did read.
In the remainder of your report discuss or describe what you
learned
about weather, climate, or the atmosphere by reading the
book.
Try to include as much information and specific examples as
you
can. If you can, try to relate material in the book to
topics we
have covered in class. This may not apply early in the
semester
because we won't have covered much in that time.
Reports should be 3 to 4 pages long and should be double
spaced.
Be sure to carefully proofread you report and look for
misspelled
words, confusing sentence constructions, and grammatical
errors.
Beginning on the date you checkout the book you will have 3
weeks to complete and turn in your report (I'm pretty flexible
on time, especially early in the semester).
