Book Review Assignment— IN CLASS ONLY- NO EMAILED SUBMISSIONS!
4 + FULL PAGES, Double Spaced, size 12 font, Times New Roman or Equivalent!
Students should write a well-developed review of the book, not a summary or traditional “report.” Students can find the guidelines below to follow. It is a review, do not simply “answer” the guidelines, or use bullets to make “points” in the review. Do not say what happens, rather interpret and critique the work!
Students are encouraged to send their work via email to the instructor so I can read it over and make any corrections, but only if they wish. Proper citation is expected, style at the discretion of the student. HOWEVER, there should be few, if any, outside “source” opinions as this is YOUR review of the work. Do not use WIKIPEDIA or other non- academic web sources. Again, this is your work and opinion.
The review must consider:
• The intended audience for the book and who would find it useful;
• A brief background of the author;
• The main ideas and major objectives of the book and how effectively these are accomplished;
• The soundness of methods and information sources used;
• The context or impetus for the book – – political controversy, review research or policy, etc.; (WHY was the book thought to be written, motive)
• A comparison with other works on this subject, if known and is the book a work of fiction or non-fiction
• Constructive comments about the strength and weaknesses of the book;
• Students must be sure to include whether or not they believe the work would benefit a student of American History and how. Students are encouraged to be very specific, generalizing or being too broad will not be a success here.

The header of your review should ONLY include:
• Author(s) or editor(s) first and last name(s)
• Title of book with year of publication
• STUDENT NAME
