Next Essays: Reviews of...

You can do the next essay, a review, by yourself, or with one or two other people. Whether you work alone or together, your essay must be original (no copying or machine-translations), carefully composed (grammar and spell-checked), and organized into five or more well-developed paragraphs, each of five or more sentences in length (400+ words total).

If you don't want to do another movie review right away, here are some other possibilities:
  • Restaurants
  • TV programs
  • Public exhibits
    • graphic art displays (paintings, photos)
    • plastic art displays (ceramics, sculpture)
    • historical displays
    • garden shows
    • pet shows
    • ...
  • Performing Arts
    • Concerts
    • Dance
    • Opera
    • Recordings (CDs)
    • ...
  • Travel services and lodging facilities
  • Amusements
  • Websites
  • ...
If you work with classmates or peers, please make certain to include bylines including your blog handles at the top of each final version of your joint essays (posted on every one of your blogs):

    I'm cross-posting a mail message here, in case you check the Writing Studio Blog before you check your Gmail accounts (:-).

    ... §1a students (Cc: §1c):

    As I told members of the 1c class late this morning, when I gave them the same assignment that I gave your class (1a), for your fourth essays, please feel free to hook up with partners in the other class that I teach.

    If you do choose to write your fourth essays jointly, with anyone in either class (groups no larger than three), please carefully follow the instructions that I added to the end of the assignment on the Writing Studio Blog for naming co-authors by their blog handles in bylines at the beginning of every individually posted version of your joint essays:

    Next Essays: Reviews of... [this post]

    Moreover, if you have questions about your fourth essays, please DON'T EMAIL me; please POST THEM in comments on ... [this post], where everyone can see them, and read the answers.

    Finally, if you see a question ... [here] without an answer, and know the answer, pleeease answer it right away! I'll check back ... [here] off and on until Saturday, but you might see unanswered questions first.

    Cheers, ... [full name removed]
