Book Selection: "I have chosen a book that reflects my reading level, grade, and interests. It is relevant to my studies and will help me explore a new genre or topic. Reviewers have verified that the book is well-written and will advance my understanding or expand my creativity."

Book Report Justification: The class book report cannot cover a book that is a technical manual or lacks main characters and a plot, necessitating an alternative book report.

1. Understanding of the Material: "I have clearly explained the main ideas or procedures in the book. I have shown that I understand what the book is about."

2. Organization and Structure: "My report has a clear beginning, middle, and end. My ideas are organized and easy to follow."

3. Use of Evidence: "I have used specific examples or quotes from the book to support my understanding."

4. Analysis and Reflection: "I have thought deeply about the book's content and reflected on its implications or applications."

5. Writing Mechanics: "My report is free of spelling and grammar errors. I have used appropriate language and style for a book report."
