Assessment Instructions: Everyone is entitled to an opinion on the subject of scary movies. In this lesson, you had the opportunity to voice your opinion. Think back to how you explained your opinion. How did it sound? The way writing sounds is known as the tone. A tone can be serious or academic or sympathetic or sarcastic. The list of adjectives to describe an author's tone is endless.

For your assessment, you will read the opinions of movie critics and record your observations on the content, style, and tone of their critiques.

(Please note that you do not need to watch a film for this assignment; you only need to collect two reviews on a film.)

Choose one of the following films:
The Bride of Frankenstein
Tales from the Crypt (1972 film)
Jaws
Psycho (1960)
Rear Window
The Sixth Sense
Secret Window
If you have an alternate film on which you would like to collect reviews, please consult your instructor for approval.

Locate two film critiques on the film you have chosen. Consider beginning your search by reading renowned film critic Roger Ebert's Review, at suntimes. com, on your selected film.
Complete the Critique Observation Organizer. You may copy and paste this information into a document, print and fill in by hand, or make your own organizer with the same criteria.
