What you should have done and posted for Thursday 11/12

Template B from the Review Assignment (it's posted on an earlier post on this blog). This should be done by start of class on Thursday as we will go over them in class.

Then we will outline the review in class, so start thinking about how you want to structure your review. Find an example of a review that is similar to yours (keep in mind the plagiarism workshop!) and note how they bring up their criteria. How do they arrange the review? What are some things you like about this review? What do you want to do differently in your own review? You shouldn't borrow criteria from this review - criteria should be more personal. What YOU like in a restaurant, for example, is not what another author might like. But good restaurants do share some common themes - good service, appropriate ambiance (this might be different for a pizza place and a french restaurant!). These (service, ambiance) are CATEGORIES of criteria. So your criteria should be more detailed.

I will see you in class on Thursday.
