Miss Representation: Conclusion; Writing a Review

Today we will complete our viewing of the documentary: Miss Representation.

After our class discussion, given time remaining, we will go next door to complete a review article for the film.

In a written review, you want to include the following information:

  • What did you watch? Find out details about the film here. Research the details about the film and use this data in your introduction.
  • Summarize the film. This should be your 2nd paragraph. Clearly and concisely summarize the key points the film or filmmakers make.
  • Critique the film. Your third paragraph should explain what you thought of the film: as art, or as an important (or unimportant) social lesson, as entertainment, or any related issue. Make sure you give reasons for your critique. Draw on facts, statistics, personal experience, etc.
  • Conclusion. Write a conclusion for your readers that answers: so what? Why is this film important to see or not important to see?
Your review should be about 300-500 words in length. This is a standard column length for journalism or school newspaper articles. Set up your paper in 2 columns. Give your article a headline or title.
