Unit 3.11 Writing: Film and Book Reviews

• A review is a brief description of a book, film, play, album, etc. A review gives the main points of the plot including the reviewer’s comments/recommendation.

• When writing a review, consider the tenses you should use for each paragraph. When describing the plot, the present tense should be used. Paragraphs should include more than one sentence. When a new topic is introduced, begin a new paragraph. Your recommendation or judgement should be included in the conclusion. Always give good reasons to support your comments/opinions.

• The style of a review can be formal or informal depending on the intended reader. Reviews can be part of a letter or email.
