Story Telling Crash Course: Session Fifteen: The Review / Evaluation Approach

dragosroua (74)in #challenge30 • 8 years ago

Here we are, with the last challenge from our story telling crash course. It's been a very nice ride, although a bit slower than the first 30 days challenge, which engaged more than 10 people every day and generated more than 400 articles. Nevertheless, the submissions to this challenge were significantly more complex, more diverse and more entertaining (at least some of them).

I will write a full report of this challenge tomorrow, including some small stats (spoiler: I already awarded 15 SBD so far).

For now, let's focus on the last assignment. It's funny how everything comes into places, sometimes. The last assignment is about reviews and today, go figure, I published on of my weekly movie reviews. What a coincidence, right? :)

Reviews can cover a wide range of topics, from social networks (like this review of AKASHA) to books (like this review of one of my books, by @trevor.george) and to movies (like the one I just linked above).

There are a few strong points you have to take care of when you write a review:

be clear about the object of your review (don't review many things at once, like a movie AND the economics of the movies industry, for instance) because it gets confusing.
make sure you state clearly this is your own personal opinions (it doesn't come from a third party study, or anything)
highlight the key points: why the readers should be interested in the object of your review, why they shouldn't and so on
give references (picture, links, etc)

With that being said, let's move to your next assignment. You should write, in the next 24 hours, a review of a book, movie, or a sporting event (being a soccer game, or a marathon, for instance). Please follow the guiding lines above and try to make me really want to know more about what you write. Tag you entry with challenge30 and story and, if you can, leave me a comment with a link to your entry.

I will personally review all the assignments and I will award the one that I like the most with 1 SBD.
