Overview:
In this essay, “write a review essay on any subject—a performance, a book, a website, a consumer

product,” policies, restaurants, college residential halls, vacation spots, a movie, an athlete, a

celebrity, a political figure, whatever. “The key is that you evaluate something that interests you but

also matter to someone else. Essentially, you will answer the questions: “How good is it? What is its

value?” Your basic motive is to make a judgment about something that you may or may not be familiar

with, and then, using reasonable criteria and evidence, convince others that your judgment is sensible.

Key aspects of this project include the following:

• Compose a thesis statement and development of paragraphs that show the readers there is something to

be said about the worth or value of something.
• Provide criteria for the judgment of something.
• Determine what category it belongs to. Decide what else it is like. Establish why it is better or

worse to something in the same category.
• The required length for all drafts is 4 pages, not including the Works Cited page.
• You must cite from at least two sources (print, online, interviews, documentaries, speech, etc.) in

your paper.
• You will document all ideas and words from your sources, using MLA documentation.
• Title: Titles are centered and written in 12-point, Times New Roman font. The title is not bolded,

underlined, italicized, or included with quotation marks. Your essay’s title should include the name of

the author and title of the work.
