Title page/references list
Academic writing tone and writing standards
For the final essay, you will demonstrate your understanding of the skills necessary to draft an effective researched argumentative essay. In this essay, you will write an evaluation of another person’s written review of another subject (e.g. movie review, book review, cell phone review, restaurant review, etc)
In the evaluation, you must summarize the subject being evaluated, and determine the criteria necessary for such an object to be considered a good version of its kind (e.g. what makes a good comedy movie?). Then your essay must prove your thesis, which will be to make a claim about your subject being a good or bad example of its kind (e.g. This movie is a good comedy because it has these characteristics.)
The Evaluation should have the following:
Introduction
-brief introduction of the topic of your review
-statement of criteria that make up a good movie review
-thesis statement that argues your review is either good or bad based on [at least] four criteria ([at least] three that prove it’s good/bad and [at least] one that argues it may not be as good/bad)
Summary
summary of the major background information/people/history of the subject of your review (e.g. release dates, creators, initial response to subject, subject’s success/failure [sales, etc]).
Body
-at least four body paragraphs (one for each of the main topics and one for the counterargument)
-focused topic sentences
-at least one (MLA formatted) quote/stat from an outside source for each body paragraph
-each paragraph should only focus on one of the four criteria
In the Body there should be at least 1 counterargument paragraph that discusses a weakness of the review and uses at least one other review to compare.
Conclusion
-Restates the point of the essay
-gives and indication of whether the review convinces the reader to buy/use/engage with the object
