Debate: Book Reports

What is you opinion on book reports in Geography. I for one think that they are ridiculous. If you want book reports, be an English teacher! Geography is not for book reports, it's about the world, mapping, history of the area, names of countries, stuff like that. If you want us to read a book, assign it as homework and then have a test on it. Book reports are for English. (Please comment on the subject.)
