OK, moving right along with this Writing Reviews unit, here is the first lesson plan, which aims to introduce students to the concept of the review. The do-now exercise for this lesson is this Cultural Literacy worksheet on the idiom having an axe to grind. I think any reviewer has by definition an ax to grind, hence this document. Finally, here is the structured analytical worksheet on the concept of reviews that is the mainstay of this lesson.
If you find typos in these documents, I would appreciate a notification. And, as always, if you find this material useful in your practice, I would be grateful to hear what you think of it. I seek your peer review.
