PART I: Summary (10 points) In your summary you need to demonstrate an understanding of the content and NOT just give an overview of main subject/chapters headings. Be sure you communicate ALL THE KEY CONCEPTS in the book in this section. PART II: Apply Class Concepts (50 points) In this section you are to demonstrate an understanding of 3-4 class concepts as you apply them to course cotent. In other words, choose class concepts that you think come alive or are exemplified in your book. Before discussing the concepts in reference to your book you must demonstrate you understand the concept. Simply writing a one-sentence definition of a concept does not demonstrate an understanding of the concept. Discuss how the book connects with and/or overlaps with course content. Be specific. Make sure you demonstrate an understanding of and connection to course AND your book report book. For example, just choosing nonverbal communication is far too broad; there is an entire lecture and chapter dedicated to nonverbal. Rather than choosing the broad concept of nonverbal communication choose something more specific like kinesics or occulesics. Similarly, rather than saying the concept perception overlaps with book material (again, too broad), choose something like self-fulfilling prophecies or perhaps one of the specific barriers to accurate perception. In this section you must use at least ONE quote from your book report book FOR EACH CONCEPT (not textbook, although that would also be acceptable) to demonstrate the connection from the book to our course. Each concept discussed should be expressed on one full, well-developed paragraph. An introductory and concluding paragraph is also required in this section. This will be the longest section of your paper. PART III: Review (30 points) — In this section review the book personally and critically. In the personal review section identify: (1) What you liked; (2) What you found challenging or didn’t like (it is not acceptable to say there was nothing you didn’t like. If you liked everything about the book then use this space to write about what else you would’ve like the author to discuss, what more information would you have liked?; and (3) discuss what you learned from the book. In the critical review section of the report identify: (1) How does book content square with the material you have learned in the class? Here you don’t just talk about specific concepts (you did that in Part II), you reflect on course content and book as a whole. Evaluate the content from a critical perspective. In academia the word “critical” in reference to “review” doesn’t mean to judge or criticize; rather to be critical means you are to question the material and opinions you have read and present your evaluation of that material. A critical review requires reflection and analysis. A critical review demonstrates you are capable of viewing ideas from a different perspective, sometimes very different. When you share your understanding of the material in this section you are demonstrating you understand the purpose of the book and are able to evaluate the material from that perspective. Your review section should be 3-5 well-developed paragraphs. PART IV: Summary (10 points) Offer a general summary and conclusion for your review. In this section make sure to include who might benefit most from reading this book and why (demographic, psychological, sociological information . . .) This section should be 1-2 paragraphs long. — PAGE 6– –
