How do I review a review? :O

<< < (2/3) > >>

simpak:
This SAC is the sum of all evils; all the Lit people I tutor are doing it now and their reviews are so terribly constructed in comparison to mine.

EvangelionZeta:
I'll upload the one I write as a practice SAC once I've done it tomorrow night.  >.>

Even if it's true, I hope you don't say that kind of stuff to your students.

I think there is a misundertstanding here!
Not their work being terribly constructed, the reviews that they're meant to be reviewing!  As in, what their teachers have provided them with in order to write their essays.
Gosh, haha.  I definitely don't go around telling my students that their work is rubbish o:
That would be quite horrible!  And also quite a drab reflection of my ability to tutor them.

I just meant like, the quality of the reviews their teachers have picked for them are often very surface level orientated, whereas I am much more in favour of contemplating reviews at a literary crit level, which are able to make proper interpretations of the text itself - much easier to discuss in the SAC and a lot more to talk about, I feel!
It's kind of hard to do this SAC if your review is just like 'Such and such is a film that was directed by such and such and it was acted by so and so and then there are these themes and this is the general plotline and kthnx bai'.

Oh and, I did best on this SAC last year, and I would offer to send you my response but my school seemed to do it a little differently to most.
My teacher made the 15 marks worth part (review of a review) an oral presentation, with a complementary essay on the general interpretations of the text whereas most of my students and many of the people I have spoken to who do/have done literature say that they need to do a short oral on their interpretations and then an essay as their review of the review.
So if that's the case for you, too, I did an oral rather than an essay and my work would be structured vastly differently.

However, if you wish to see it, I can send it over.
