How do I write an article review?

Posted by admin on December 19th, 2009 and filed under top ten reviews | 1 Comment »

This is part of a project in creating an economic news paper.

The directions are as followed:
1. Find a GOOD article about modern day poverty in the U.S.
2. Act like the article review expert that you are and complete an article review on the given article (typed and included in your news paper)
3. Add an opinions section to your article review and comment on your opinions on the article or about the topic in general.
4. Add a visual.

And this is the only article I found, although it’s not recent.

My teacher won’t notice. :P Ha but I don’t know what an article review looks like? How do I start one and how do I let the reader know about the original article? I tried looking up examples with no luck. Can anyone help?

OK, my slow internet isn’t opening the article. But an article review looks the same as a book review.
Start with stating which article you are reviewing and who wrote it.
Give a summary of the article. ie. "In this article so and so writes about poverty and lists its causes as…blah" or whatever. Give enough so that someone can know what the article is about without reading it.
Then add an opinion section, do you agree with it? Why or why not? If not, what is wrong with the article? Was it one sided, biased or narrow?

Like a book jacket review of a book. After reading the book do you agree with the jacket review or not?
