This is for the micropiece

Read three reviews from Roger Ebert’s Great Movies archive. Write a two to three page paper that answers the following questions:

1. Is it clear how Ebert feels about the films? How do you know?

2. What details does Ebert use to support his assessments? Provide examples.

3. Does Ebert use comparisons anywhere in his reviews? Where? What do they show? Provide an example.

4. Is there anything you think you can take from Ebert’s reviews (use of detail, language, conclusions, etc…) and use as model for your own paper? Why or why not?

Strive to write an introduction that flows from sentence-to-sentence and paragraph-to-paragraph. Answer the questions as a unified essay, not in a point-by-point reactionary style.

And this for the evaluation essay

Write a 700-1000 word review of a topic of your choosing. Your essay must:

Use at least one comparison

Acknowledge at least one possible objection to your judgment

Use concrete detail to support your premises
