PREPARATION
- Collect a variety of reviews, from both online and print resources, to supplement those that students will contribute. As you gather these resources, be sure that you locate:
- two conflicting reviews of a current movie, television show, or CD with which students are likely familiar.
- reviews specific to the writer(s) who students are reading. The Stauffer Library Reference and Book Reviews in the Yahoo! Directory may be helpful in finding those reviews.
- two conflicting reviews of a current movie, television show, or CD with which students are likely familiar.
- Make appropriate number of copies of handouts.
- Test the ReadWriteThink Pinting Press on your computers to familiarize yourself with the tool and ensure that you have the Flash plug-in installed. You can download the plug-in from the technical support page.
