Leave half a page for writing down things about them. You will only have two characters on each page of paper! Every time their name is used or they are talked about in the book, the author is telling you clues about the character. Be a detective. {“smallUrl”:“https://www. wikihow. com/images/thumb/4/4a/Take-Notes-for-a-%22Chapter-Book%22-Book-Report-Step-4Bullet1. jpg/v4-460px-Take-Notes-for-a-%22Chapter-Book%22-Book-Report-Step-4Bullet1. jpg”,“bigUrl”:"/images/thumb/4/4a/Take-Notes-for-a-%22Chapter-Book%22-Book-Report-Step-4Bullet1. jpg/aid22107-v4-728px-Take-Notes-for-a-%22Chapter-Book%22-Book-Report-Step-4Bullet1. jpg",“smallWidth”:460,“smallHeight”:345,“bigWidth”:728,“bigHeight”:546,“licensing”:"<div class="mw-parser-output">

Do the same thing for the setting! The setting is where and when the story is taking place. (You will only need a few lines for each setting though, so more will fit on each page. ) You don’t need to copy the full description from the book, but briefly tell about it - i. e. “A cold dark cave” “Aunt Tillie’s house in the city. "
If a word is new or unfamiliar to you, write it down in your vocabulary section. Write down the page number where you first saw the word, and the sentence it was used in (this is very important). Leave four more spaces for adding a definition later.
Write 1-3 sentences (in your own words) about what has happened in this chapter. Try to pick out what you think will be the most important things that happened.
Guess what will happen in the next chapter. It’s okay if you don’t get it right. One fun thing to do here is think, “If I was writing this story, what would I have happen next?” See if you can figure out what the author is going to do next.
When you have finished the book, you will have everything you need to do an excellent book report! You will have an entire story line, descriptions of all the characters, new words you’ve learned, and even notes about what you thought would happen and if the author could surprise you or not!
