Classroom Considerations

  • Pupils should be informed of how to construct proper book citations in a given style prior to using this template
  • Note that students will likely need to perform some Internet research in order to find out more about their book's author

Pros

  • Simple formatting
  • Ready to administer
  • Excellent choice to include critique rather than summary

Cons

  • Not enough space provided for each section; should be used as an outline or starting place, and pupils should know to continue writing on the back of page if needed
