INFORMATION LOADING:
- A Review paper is an assessment
or evaluation of a work of art,
literature, film, or performance.
- It aims to provide readers with an
overview of an existing collection
of knowledge by reviewing a book
or an article and examining its
content, structure, style, and
statements.

- (The teacher explains the definition

of a Review Paper)

- The four essential parts of a

Review Paper: Introduction,
Description, Interpretation, and
Conclusion.
 - In the introduction, it should
contain the essential details about
the subject being assessed such as
its title and author. Also, do not
forget your thesis statement.

- (Give examples)

- In the Description, it should contain

the simple description of the
artwork/book you are reviewing.
When we say “description” it tells
something about a work we are
evaluating
- (Give examples)

- In the Interpretation, you discuss

and analyze the work. You may
state:
 Interesting Facts
 Aspects that make the work
a success or failure
 Interesting Plot Twist
- (Give examples)

- Lastly, in the Conclusion, you

reinforce your main assessment,
Compare, or recommend the
material if you liked it.
- (Give examples)

- In addition, reaction papers,

reviews, and critiques usually range
in length from 250 to 750 words.

- Let us examine this Film Review

Example:

HOTEL MUMBAI (TERRORISM)-

Hotel Mumbai is directed by Anthony
Maras that is based upon true events. This
film is a recreation of violent and
unthinkable events that happened at the Taj
Mahal Palace Hotel in 2008 in the city of
Mumbai, India. While watching the film,
the special forces and the military took so
long to stop the attack. The message of the
drama is obvious, the best way to stop such
terrorist attack is peace education and to
improve the availability and firepower of
anti-terrorist firefighters. Overall, if you’re
a fan of thrilling movies, I highly
recommend the movie.

sections can be seen)

- Another example is a Review abou

the Covid-19 virus

An epidemic of Coronavirus disease 2019

(COVID-19) outbroke in December 2019
in China, Wuhan, which became a Public
Health Emergency of International
Concern. The Coronavirus is a dangerous
virus spread across the globe since the end
of 2019. As of April 4th 2020, According to
CNN reports, the worldwide infected cases
are about 1, 192, 028; Deaths 64, 316. The
COVID-19 virus did not only cause a
disaster to humans in the social and
economic factor but also in many other
aspects of life, being the disease is highly
infectious and fatal too.

- (The teacher analyzes where the

sections can be seen)

- Let’s have a last example. This is a

film-review about Money Heist that
 focuses on Government Corruption.

Money Heist is a Spanish heist crime

drama television series created by Álex
Pina. A criminal mastermind who goes by
"The Professor" has a plan to pull off the
biggest heist in recorded history -- to print
billions of euros in the Royal Mint of
Spain. Since most people are aware of the
government’s corruption, the heists sends
them a message that their corruption will
no longer be tolerated. The best show I
have ever seen, everyone must watch this!
