Day 27: Ethics and some writing fun
A Team: Final draft
B Team: Second draft
C Team: Working on next draft
To print of not to print
This AWESOME review of Guy Fieri's restaurant showed up in the NYT last week. It got lots of press for its content, but also a lot of press for the style. Your assignment: think of a restaurant, a book, an event, an article of clothing, something that you have a strong like or dislike for, and write a review styled like this one. Have fun! It's almost Thanksgiving break.
