Today, we're going to begin class with a "pass the plate" activity that will allow you to become an active part of the note-taking process on media reviews.
Directions:
1. Read the lead in the video game article and then read the lead in the HSM2 review.
2. Functionally speaking, what do the two leads have in common? (Don't focus on what they are saying, but the similarities on how the leads function)
3. Functionally speaking, how are the two leads different?
4. Look at the paragraph 2 or 3 of the HSM2 review. Please identify 1 opinion of the writer.
Writing a review on a film, album, or television show is slightly different than writing a review on an event. To prepare you for that process, your assignment, DUE: Wednesday, will be to write a review on Tuesday's school experience.
Please read my model review on all of my ELA classes on last Friday. While reading, please notice how it is not just a random collection of ideas on how I think each class went. I used my summarizing skills to detect a pattern, and then used only those details that supported my overall opinion of the day--captured in the headline of my piece.
Please take out two different colored highlighters / pens. Underline or highlight the facts in one color. Underline or highlight the opinions in the other color.
When you are done, please write a sentence that summarizes the reviewer's opinion of my ELA classes.
HW: You technically have no homework, but you do have "schoolwork" for tomorrow (perhaps the most obvious statement of the century). What I mean is that you must collect facts and observations from your school day tomorrow, with the intention of composing a review on your day at school.
