For this week, you will be writing a Review Essay in which you consider a film or an album or a streaming series that you have had a positive or a negative reaction to. As you begin to gather ideas and draft an outline of your review, remember the characteristic features of a successful review: relevant background information, criteria for evaluation, a well-supported evaluation, attention to the audience’s needs and expectations, an authoritative tone, and awareness of the ethics of reviewing. I will look for these things in your review when grading them.
A strong warning: since we are reviewing films and music and other forms of popular culture, the internet is full of reviews for any film or collection of songs we might consider. Do not use sources for this essay! Even if you just read a review of the movie or album you have chosen, the language of the source will stand in the way of you developing your own voice and your own stance toward the object of your review. Avoid the opinions and writings of others so that you can formulate your own. Please trust yourself and the feelings you have about the object you are reviewing. Think about the examples we have read in this section of the course, and of the moves that we have seen reviewers make in our readings.
Your essay should be between 750 and 900 words long, should be in MLA format, and should be turned in by 11:59pm Monday, June 10. You must upload a .docx or .pdf file. If you are using Pages or Google Docs, you must convert before uploading. Do not use AI to help you compose the essay! We must make mistakes in order to learn and grow in our writing!
