Carefully read the book review checklist your teacher gave you and highlight or circle items relevant to the book you are reviewing. A checklist for a review of a fictional novel, for example, may include a category for analyzing character development, but this approach may be unnecessary for a nonfiction work.
Plan where in your review you will address each relevant item in the checklist. Arrange the items in some kind of pattern to avoid presenting a scattered, choppy review that jumps around from topic to topic.
Turn your book review checklist into a questionnaire with possible rankings of "yes," "maybe" or "no" for each question. Check off the appropriate ranking for each question. This helps with evaluative items in your checklist, such as assessing the satisfactoriness of a novel's denouement.
Check off each item as you address it in your review. Decide if any leftover items are relevant enough to squeeze them in somewhere, or if they would be better left out.
Read over your review and assess if it satisfactorily addresses every relevant item in the book review. If not, consider what the item in the list is asking exactly, and how you can improve your answer to better respond to it.
