"Everyone's a Critic"
THE AMS REVIEW PROJECT:
In the upcoming weeks (until Christmas) Mrs. Gilchrist's classes will be doing reviews of books, places, products, businesses, stores, restaurants, and movies around town. Students will be learning about how to write opinion pieces and also the needed skills that allow them to write towards specific audiences.
Here's the Requirements:
1.) Students must write two different reviews (preferably a negative and positive) and turn those in first. (100 points.)
2.) Once that part has been "checked off" and edited, they are allowed to creatively express their reviews through online blogs, videos, YouTube, consumer reviews, Urban spoon, the local newspaper, and even posters hung in the windows of the businesses themselves!
3.) Students will rate each product, movie, book, store, restaurant, and or business with the AMS REVIEW rating system of 1-5 pitchforks.
Happy Reviewing!
