Each review a page and a half, I trust. You need to have an introduction paragraph in which you introduce the topic and how you became acquainted with it and what your over all critical opinion of it is. Ex. This play was awful because of poor writing, acting and lighting. of This was a delightful play. it had funny moments, good acitng, and was enjoyed by the audience. Use your own conclusions and reasons. You need three to five reasons.. Then the body of your paper shall be as many paragraphs as there are reasons given for your evaluation in the Intro paragraph. Each paragraph shall begin, The first reason this play was awful was that it had poor writing. Then you give specific examples from the play of that. When you have finished. You can end the paragraph by saying The poor writing is one reason why the play was awful. begin the next paragraph, The next reason why the play was awful was the acting. give specific instances of the bad acting and conclude the paragraph similary ly to no. 1. When you have written a paragraph on each of your reasons, You want to write a conclusion paragraph that reiterates and sums up the paper. thusly, The bad writing, horrible acting and incompetent lighting were why I felt this play was awful. I do not recommend anyone go see it. I certainly would not do so again. Or some such ending to wrap it all up. If you find it is too long, reduce the number of reasons, too short add more reasons. someone at your school needs to teach expository writing.
