Evaluation Paragraph Directions
Note: You should not incorporate any research in this assignment.
In one (1) paragraph of eight to eleven sentences, write a review based on one of the following choices:
Arts Review – Drawing on your experiences as a consumer of popular culture, write a oneparagraph review on a movie, book, television series, a piece of music (song or album), artist, or
a work of art. Try to write a review strong enough to change someone’s mind.
Product Review – Choose an item that you own, buy, or use on a regular basis (it can be anything
from Maybelline’s “Lash Sensational Washable Mascara” to Dunkin’ Donuts coffee to a specific
Internet site, app, or social network that you couldn’t live without), and write a one-paragraph
review of that product, making sure that you include what makes the product special or superior
to its competitors. Try to write a strong enough review to convince someone to buy it.
