Whenever you read a story, ask yourself....

1. Where can I see God’s care or His special plan?
2. Why did God allow this to happen?

3. What can I learn from this story?

4. Assessment of the author. Subjective or objective?, Secular or  humanist? Bias & perspective

Along with these questions, look out for the villain (antagonist, or ‘bad guy’) in a book!  He is sure to pop up and try to entice the hero to do wrong or trap him, like the devil who tempted Eve in the Garden of Eden:  And the serpent said to the woman, You shall not surely die.... you shall be like gods, knowing good and evil.  Genesis 3:4, 5 That verse tells us the motive of the villain ... to be as our God and to replace our King.

For better writing skills ...

  • NEVER start a sentence with --- But, Because, And, Or
  • Spell out numbers one through ten
  • Numbers twenty-one through ninety-nine are all hyphenated 
  • DO NOT use slang.
  • DO NOT refer to yourself at all in the book report until the last paragraph. Then you may use personal pronouns like "I"
  • NEVER have a sentence following another one that starts with the same exact words !!!! 
  • DO NOT use the same word or a version of the same word more than once in a sentence/paragraph e.g., shows, showing, showed ---- FIND ANOTHER WORD !!!
  • Begin to use the Thesaurus --- we should no longer see you using the words sad/glad/mad/scared when evaluating (last paragraph) your book
  • DO NOT use contractions. Spell out all words.
  • REMEMBER --- All self words are hyphenated
  • USE your book reports to increase your vocabulary skills.  For each book report during this series look up 3-5 new words in the Thesaurus to replace words you commonly use.
