A fully complete and well thought out book report is worth 50 EXTRA CREDIT POINTS. Book reports should be 3-5 pages long. You may only choose one of the following books. If you turn in a report on a book not on this list, it will not be graded. If you plagiarize, you will lose points from this assignment. Of course, you must use standard font, font size, and spacing. In the book report, you should address several items: 1) the author’s thesis, 2) a summary of the book, 3) your own reactions to the book, and 4) how you think the book fits in with the class. The ONLY acceptable books are as follows:

S. C. Gwynne- Empire of the Summer Moon

Sarah Vowell- Unfamiliar Fishes

Francisco Balderrama- Decade of Betrayal

Joseph Persico- Franklin and Lucy
