Get Help!

So what good are the adults in your life when you are doing a book report?

Consider:

• Discussing your book and pre-outline with them.

• Bouncing ideas off them.

• Talking things over with them when you get stuck.

• Having them read over a rough copy and offer suggestions for improvement.
  (No, they are not allowed to rewrite it for you!)

• Having them help you or show you where to go for help when you aren't sure about quoting, giving authors credit, using a certain computer program, etc.

• "Testing" your final book report on them before you hand it in.
