FAQs
Is this a book review? Yes, you should have read both books
to write this report. But, if you've only read some of each book,
then that's okay and share your initial thoughts.
Can I take my 1st Report and use that writing for this 2nd Report? No, do not re-use writing for this 2nd Report. This should be neither your 1st Report re-used nor your Speed Review re-used.
Do I need an outside quote for this?
No, you do not need to use outside sources. This is a purely opinionated writing assignment. Write from your own point of view (POV).
Can I use this 2nd Report writing in my Mid-Term Paper? Yes, whatever you write here, you may “scaffold up” this 2nd Report and 1st Report and use it in your upcoming June 24th Mid-Term Paper.
Worth 25-points
Weighted ×5, earning a 5 earns you a 25 (5×5=25).
- a
5 is excellent (5×5=25), for writing that addressed your likes/dislikes
of art, story, characters, and tone, and you have little to no
spelling/grammar issues, you've given the reader a complete sense of what this book is about and why you like it
- if a 4
(4×5=20), it's above average, addresses most of the topics or maybe
does so incompletely, with some spelling/grammar issues, may feel incomplete in one or more of those areas
- a 3 (3×5=15) isn't awful, but it only
addresses some of the topics, with frequent spelling/grammar issues,
missing a majority of information to give us a full sense of why you enjoyed the book, doesn't meet the page count requirement
- you score a 2 (2×5=10) because it might have very little content addressed, too many spelling/grammar issues, lacks full background on the book, doesn't meet the page count requirement
- earning a 1–0 (1×5=5 or 0×5=0) is for unsatisfactory, incomplete, or inappropriate work, zero (0) no work, doesn't meet the page count requirement
