The book report should include background information on the band, a history of their career and their contribution to the music of the decade (and beyond if relevant). It needs to be evident that the student read their book and did not compile information from the internet. Book report should be written in your own words, not copied directly from the text. Any direct quotes need to be properly cited. Any student caught plagiarizing will receive a failing grade.
