Writing a review

Pick a media source of your liking and write a short review:

-150 words

-movies, books, series; you name it.

Some hints:

What made it great/bad? How was the acting? How was the style of writing? What was the underlying message? Which actors were on screen? When did it release? What genre is it?

Common writing mistakes:

1. I without capital
   
2. Your / you're
   
3. They/ they're/ their
   
4. Plurals v.s. singulars
   
5. then/than
6. present or past tense?
