Revising the Restaurant Review

Here are some tips for how to revise your restaurant review:

EDITING

Is the name of the restaurant capitalized?
Is it clear where the rest. is located?
Are there any texting mistakes, like u for you? Those are fatal!
Are there clearly definable paragraphs?
Is the writing sloppy at times?




REVISION

1. As you read the review, do you get a sense of being there? Do you smell the food, see the decor, or hear the sizzle of cooking or the clanking of dishes? How is the level of descriptive detail? Are there strong examples?

2. Does it feel like the author is a part of the review? Does the author speak of his or her own experience with the place or only of the food?

3. Does the review feel rushed or incomplete? Does it feel like the author simply got the assignment done or that the author actually thought through each piece of this assignment?

4. What would make this review better?
