Restaurant Review

When given the assignment of reviewing a restaurant I felt that it is a good idea. I am excited to choose what restaurant I want to review and begin the process of evaluating it. I am a little worried about the time crunch since I will be gone for 10 days of spring break. I have to get to work and not waste time. Hopefully the end result is good!

Argentina Review

The author of this review seemed to do a very good job with the way she presented the information.
- Gave some history about the restaurant
- Listed other things that the owner is apart of, such as tango lessons
- Talked about some improvements that have occurred throughout the weeks
- Explained what is good to order and how it is made
- Gave very good descriptions and clean picture of how the food is
- Gave some of her opinions of how the restaurant could be made better
- Let reader know that the restaurant is open 7 days a week & is non smoking

Through reading this review I received a good picture of what my review should should like when completed. I need to make sure that I give the reader of my review a clear picture of what the food tastes like, what the restaurant looks like and how the experience was all together.

Profile Paper

I feel that I have a lot of work to do to make my paper better. Through interviewing Coach Baechler, I got a good impression of the kind of person he is and the accomplishments he has made. It is important that I put those things into the paper. I need to find a better way to put his voice into the paper. Explaining the way he looks and the way he talks will make the reader understand this man much better. I need to explain the things that make other people look up to him and appreciate what he has done for the community. I know that there are many people out there that feel he has done amazing things for his football team and those people need to be represented in this paper. Through editing my own paper, I have found that there are way too many being verbs and I know that I can make it much better if I eliminate those verbs. I also need to add more of Coach Baechler's voice into the paper. He is a stern, quiet man and the reader would not get that by just reading my rough draft. I have a lot of work to do with citations as well throughout this paper. All together, I have a lot of work, but I'm sure it will all come together. :]
