Notes today were on movie reviews, and the 7 tactics that are needed to write a substantial review. Blogs are now increased in points, and Mr. Rivers stressed that waiting to the last minute isnt a good idea. As for the tactics, they consist of:
1.Deliberately title article
2. Who is important
3. Credit explicitly - naming artist within your sentences/ paragraphs
Credit parenthetically - did you mention a character but don't want to spend the whole review Provide necessary content
4.Premise- the main basis/ conflict for the film
5.Evaluate Content
6.Evaluate meaning/theme
7. Conclude
For the rest of the class, we looked at NY times movie reviews, and began to analyse them for their parts shown above. This is an ongoing project, and will continue to be done tomorrow/, 11/21.
These notes are very sparse and are way short of the 300 word minimum for the assignment. Please make sure that your post has PURPOSE! Remember that this post should help students understand what/how we learned in class so they’re prepared to come in the next day. Would this have been enough? This is also missing the extension (50% of the post).
