I always make my students write their book reports in class and I never have
them do any kind of story analysis. Instead, I have them choose a task like
the ones below:
Interview one of the characters; ask questions about the events.
Write a letter to one of the characters.
Write a letter to the author; ask questions about how, why and where the
book was written.
Write a letter to the author and explain the effect that the book had on
you.
Write a diary for one of the characters.
Compare or contrast the book to another book you have read: plots, theme,
characters, style, etc.
Write a continuation of the story.
Write a dialogue between two or more of the characters.
Make up a different ending and/or beginning.
Write the story in a different genre: for example, a newspaper article.
