Review Summary of The Allegory of the Cave

In this assignment you will review a classmate's post summarizing the allegory of the cave
Go to the classmate's blog, read the post and then click on comments. Post your response there.
You will need to be logged in to do that. As always, write on word first so you do not lose your text.

In your comments you will offer a review of their summary answering the following important questions:


1. Is the main idea (thesis) of the passage clearly and correctly stated?
2. Are the important supporting ideas stated correctly and fully?
3. Are all (or nearly all) unimportant ideas excluded?
4. Is the summary in the writer’s own words?
5. Is the summary written with few grammar/spelling/style errors?
6. Does the summary retain the sense and organization of the original passage?
7. Is personal opinion included in the summary?


Your review should start by addressing these questions. Don't assume they know which question you are talking about--write complete sentences about each point (for instance, "a summary is supposed to be in the writer's own words but you use quotes from the original when you say ..." Also address your overall impression of their work on this summary and cover BOTH the positive and the problematic aspects you saw. Think of this writing as addressing yourself at some point: how would you like someone to critique you? I am sure you would like someone to praise what you did well and offer helpful feedback on what you need to work on without making you feel like a failure. Have fun interacting with your classmates and keep in mind  you will also be getting feedback from other students on your own blogs.
