A New Genre of Writing: The Review

Thinkwrite: Have you ever looked for a product review online before buying something? Tell about how and when you do this. If not, why not? If you want to find out more about a product before buying, what do you do?

We look at this.

Your next paper (short project, no drafts in class) is going to be  a review. Tomorrow you will find out what your choices are to review. TODAY we begin to figure out how to write a review.

What are the KEY ELEMENTS of a review? What is its purpose/audience/ rules of the genre?

You are going to do some online investigation to find out. I expect you to help each other today with the forum details, but each of you will find your own example reviews to analyze. Ready to explore? We go to Moodle.

Homework:

1. Finish your Key Elements and attach to a reply in the forum.

2. Have your Final Version of the Crowd-funding Project ready to hand in. Bring all drafts and comment sheets.

3. Have your daybook ready to hand in. There are two handouts you need to include: the spelling quiz and the English history notes.

4. TWFTD: criteria or criterion (any dictionary and quote)
