Writing Homework Help

1. Review a work of creative expression that a writer helped create.
   • novels
   • books
   • graphic novels
   • music
   • movies
   • theater
   • TV shows
   • comedy
2. Be concise.The review must be 750 words or fewer, not including the title.
3. Assert an opinion and back it up with evidence.A review is not simply a plot summary or description. State an opinion and support it with detail that makes your case.
4. Know your audience.Be mindful that you are submitting a review to a public website, not just to our Canvas site, and that your potential audience therefore includes a broader cross-section of people. So, keep in mind your audience.

But be sure to take into account who the creative work’s target audience is as well. For example, if you are reviewing a young adult novel intended for 10-year-old girls, aim to write a review that will be useful for 10-year-old girls (and their parents).

1. Write something original.For this essay, you cannot submit anything you have already written for another class, school newspaper, or elsewhere.

Also, I understand that you might look at other reviews to help you. However, be sure that the final submission reflects your ideas, voice, and writing ability, not someone else’s.

1. Whatever you choose to review, it should be new to you. That doesn’t mean it can’t be a classic work and has been around for decades — just that it should be a fresh experience for you.

Use appropriate and engaging language and give context. Assume that your audience is interested in learning more about your topic but does not have the same background about it that you do.
