Review Assignment

English 0750
Using your Summary, write a two-paragraph review of the Summary of Findings section of the
Pew Internet & American Life Project report “Writing, Technology, and Teens.” In 250-400
words, evaluate the effectiveness of the text and make suggestions for improving it. What does
the report do well, and what are its most significant weaknesses?

I will grade your Review on how thoroughly and accurately it discusses the main aspects of the
report. Your Review needs to emphasize the most important elements of the report. Present a
clear, brief summary of the report, followed by a direct statement of the report’s effectiveness.
Use specific details from the report to support your evaluation. Conclude with a sense of how
interesting, effective, and useful this section of the report is to you.

We will hold a workshop in class on Wednesday, 18 February, to work on your Review. Bring
your planning and drafting materials to class to draft and revise your work that day.

Your Review will be written out on a computer word processing program and handed in as a hard
copy at the beginning of class on Monday, 23 February or emailed as an attachment to
rdturner@cnm.edu by 5 pm that same day. Graded Reviews will be returned in class on Monday,
2 March. Revised work for a higher grade can then be submitted at anytime.
