I’m studying and need help with a English question to help me learn.
1) What essential information does your reader absolutely have to know to understand the thing you are reviewing?
Do you include the title? The name of the author, artist, or director? The year it came out? The basic plot or overview? Remember, you don’t have tell your readers everything (no spoilers!) — just enough so they can get the gist. What key context is important?
2) Who is the target audience for this work? Would they like it? (Think about the genre. Is this for horror fans? hip hop fans? Etc.)
Don’t rely on stereotypes or your own experiences to answer this question. Do your research to find out what this group’s interests, values and needs are.
3) What key terms, phrases or events might be confusing to your readers if they haven’t encountered this work or medium?
Be sure to explain them, or use words they will understand instead.
4) What references, analogies or comparisons can you add to make your review more relatable to a broad cross-section of readers?
