Review and writing a complete text

To write a review is to give your opinion about something. It can be about a book, a movie, a TV show, a restaurant, any place that provided you a service…

It is necessary to present arguments to support your opinion. In this way, the reader can better understand your point of view. You also should offer some information about what you are reviewing to give context to the reader.

The activity for this class is to write a review about a movie or a TV series.

In the resources section, there is a worksheet to help you. Use the information you find online about the movie or TV show to complete it. That will help you to have a clear idea of what to talk about in each paragraph. There is also an example of how to complete the worksheet.

Also, here is the structure your review should have:

• Paragraph 1: Include the name of the movie/series, stars, director, basic setting (time and place), and genre (comedy, adventure, drama, thriller, etc.).

• Paragraph 2: Write a plot summary of the movie/series. Discuss the movie/series events, but be careful, do not give spoilers!

• Paragraph 3: Discuss some aspects of the movies/series justifying why you like or dislike it. Be sure you are specific, and you can cite examples of the movie/series.

• Paragraph 4: Give your overall opinion and reaction to the movie/series. Also, include your recommendations for potential viewers.

Example of a series review:

“Law and Order SVU (Special Victims Unit)” is one of my favorite TV shows. It is a drama mixed with mystery and crime. It stars Mariska Hargitay, Ice-T, Christopher Meloni, Kelli Giddish Different, and has different directors.
The series is about the routine of lieutenant Olivia Benson and her squad at the Special Victims Unit police station in New York City. Also, it shows the stories behind the crimes. Law and Order SVU is the TV’s longest-running primetime drama (22 seasons), and it is part of a successful media franchise called Law and Order. There are eight different shows.
There are two things I like about this series. The first one is the character Olivia Benson because she is a fierce and very brave woman. The second is all the stories behind the cases, especially when there is a lot of drama. On the other hand, I do not like when there are similar stories, but I understand. It is difficult to be always original after many seasons.
Overall, it is a fantastic series, and you have to watch it if you like a good drama and police series.
