Writing a Review
Book Report
"A review is not just an opinion-- it is an educated opinion."
Directions: Write a review based on your novel. The review should contain all the fundamental elements of writing discussed, practiced, and practiced again throughout this year.
Writing a Review
You
have learned to analyze a story character by looking closely at his or her
actions or words. People who write reviews of movies, books, or restaurants use
similar methods. For example, a restaurant reviewer analyzes the quality of the
food and service and makes an evaluation. To that end, a well-crafted book
review makes an intelligent claim about a novel and backs up that claim with
support from the book.
At this point in the year, I expect that your writing be substantially better than it was in September. Purge your work of any fragments and/or run-ons, and show me that you are intelligent, witty, and above all, a superb writer. Finally, please remember to be the master of your writing. Show the reader that you are an expert on your book.
