I started cheating on book reports in the 3rd grade when I realized there's no way the teacher can know about every children's book, and as long as I picked something relatively new and obscure, I'd be safe.
In later years, we had to write reports on books everyone read, this strategy broke down. Cliff notes were a thing back then, but mostly I just skipped around through some chapters, talked with other students, and wrote the reports based off very superficial knowledge of the story with a few examples sprinkled in.
10/10 would use this to not have to suffer reading Shakespear or whatever the book du jour is, or whatever other topic I don't care about.
