11.20 - Editorial Reviews

We started today's class with 15 minutes of reading. We then took a look at how book reviews are set up and what makes an effective review.

To get a sense for what makes a good review. I handed out some reviews from Amazon.com. We are going to be taking a look at the official, editorial reviews and the top-rated reader-submitted reviews. We are looking at both of these since we went to have the "official" editorial voice and approach to reviews, but we also want to know what makes these reviews popular (the top-rated reviews).

In class today, we looked at the reader reviews and noted key features on the review comparison sheet that most (though not necessarily all) of the reviews seemed to have.


Homework:


If you did not do so in class, finish your notes on what makes an effective editorial review and an effective reader review.


Complete missing work and revise any assignment that scored below a 92.
