Review Essay
Assignment Sheet
You might be very familiar with the type of writing that is expected from you for essay 2. In fact, you might have read dozens of these when trying to decide which new car or phone to buy, or which film to watch or restaurant to visit.
For our second assignment, we will write a review essay.
Purpose: Provide your audience with a thorough and helpful review of a consumer product (e.g., a phone, an app, etc.) or a place (a restaurant, a service –like the writing center). We are not simply looking for a purely personal opinion: your review should use appropriate, clear, and fair criteria. In other words:
· Check if these expectations are met
· Show how or not they are met (provide evidence)
· Reach your overall judgment
Audience: Think of your audience as the people who would most benefit or would be most interested in reading your review. Depending on your topic, your audience will change and you will have to adapt to it.
Length: You will be writing a 650-word essay. It should contain an introduction, supporting body paragraphs, and a conclusion. In the body of this essay, you will discuss in separate paragraphs how well your subject fares in each of the criteria you selected and give supporting details and evidence to support your claims.
Due Dates: The only way to produce a good essay is to write multiple drafts. For this reason, we will have multiple due dates.
W 2/25: Full rough draft of your narrative is due at conference time.
M 3/2: Revised draft due for revision workshop
W 3/4: Final draft of your review is due by the end of the day: submit a digital copy through D2L and a hard copy in class.
