[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Book reports are a flat way to analyze a book.  I personally enjoy discussing them more - maybe with follow up analysis.

But a plain 'ole book report isn't anything special wrt understanding and analyzing what you read.  [/quote]

Well lucky for you today's kids are asked to analyze their books with understanding when writing about books.[/quote]

:lol:

sure - in a very flat, boring way...[/quote]

Just because you never learned how to write a lively book report doesn't mean no one can.[/quote]

the process is flat, not the product

the other activities posted are better, as long as they don't require parental help at all

but really, I think discussion, kicked off with some provoking questions, is the best way to analyze and engage and open your mind. think harkness.

Discussion is the same thing as writing except that you don't write. Both are ways of communicating. Kids spend every week in reading groups discussing their books. At some point they also have to learn to write about them.[/quote]
