For this writing project, I am asking you to write a 600 “ 800 word critical review of Daniel Coyle’s article, The Sweet Spot You are likely already somewhat familiar with critical reviews through movie or book reviews, where a writer summarizes what a movie or book is about (and offers some details), but also conveys what the uses and limitations are. For this project, I am asking you to do the following:
� summarize his project in his terms (use and cite his terms, ideas, and evidence to convey his arguments)
� quote and analyze key words and passages from the text; and
� assess the uses and limits of his argument.
Although you are sharing your assessment of Coyle’s argument, resist praising or criticizing Coyle’s argument in sweeping ways. Rather, assess the uses and limits of his argument and/or approach. For instance, instead of writing, � Coyle writes a great article or Coyle writes a terrible article, this assignment asks you to consider which aspects of his article are useful (Coyle’s ideas about practice seem especially relevant for ¦) and which aspects of his article might be limited (However, Coyle’s ideas about practice do not seem applicable in the case of ¦).
