The Review-- The Four Best OR The Four Worst

    Your assignment is to do a review of the four best or the four worst of anything (as long as the topic is school appropriate). If you have difficulty thinking of something you would like to review here are a few suggestions: (You are not limited to the suggestions.)
  • French fries
  • fast food restaurants
  • experiences of your life
  • TV shows
  • movies
  • shoes
  • baseball or hockey or swimming or checkers or other recreational activities

    Decide if you wish to do the 4 best or the 4 worst. The title of you paper should be "The Four Best (or Worst) ______" . You will write a 6 paragraph review. Use Microsoft Word to write your review. Follow the guidelines below.

 

First Paragraph--Define the Area (Introduction)

     Start with an introduction to your topic and explain exactly  what you are going to do and the way that you are going to compare the four things that you are doing. If you are doing the four best restaurants, outline what you would probably look for in a restaurant and why you chose the ones that you did.

Body

     You want your review to build up to something and therefore you should save the best of the best or the worst of the worst
for last Build up to your big one. There should be one paragraph for each of your four bests or worst's.
     You can be humorous if you want but be sure to inform the reader.  Try to pick aspects of something that are unique and avoid words such  as "stupid", "cool", "nice" "really", "awesome", awful", amazing", and other words that are used so frequently they now have little meaning. Use descriptive words that allow the reader to share your experience.

Conclusion

    Write a closing paragraph that draws a conclusion about your four bests or worst's.
