Teaching students to write product reviews helps them learn to look objectively at the products they purchase, weigh the opinions of what others have to say about the product, and to write descriptively. This lesson includes two PDF files that can be used to present this unit to the class. One file is in a presentation format and gives and overview of 9 steps that can be used to present the topic to the class and the other PDF is a worksheet used to help the student fill in the sections needed to write a quality product review.

Presentation: 9 Steps to writing a Product Review.PDF.
Worksheet: Product Review Worksheet PDF.
