How to Write a Review

24 Outubro 2024, 15:30 • Hilda Alexandra Prazeres Eusebio

Today TP1 learned the basics about how to write a review.  The PowerPoint on how to do this can be found on the shared Google drive and is located in the file named 'Review'.  We then read the final product, identifying the persuasive writing techniques and learning about how to create literary fluency  between paragraphs and ideas.  My review (Berlinde de Bruyckere’s Crossing a bridge on fire has no heat) can be found in the shared Google drive in the file named 'Review'.


Optional homework: anyone who wishes to hand in 1-3 review(s) should do so by November 19th.  All reviews handed in by the 19th of November will certainly be marked and returned.  Any review handed in after that day may or may not be marked before the test.

Next class: we will be watching 'Revelations' (but not 'Lazarus' as this is not available online) performed by the Alvin Ailey American Dance Company and, time allowing, we will be reading a review.
