Students wrote insightful and engaging critiques of “Succession,” “Barbie,” the Utah state flag, the Pink Parade tumbler, Olivia Rodrigo’s album “Guts,” and much more. These reviews are a joy to read and they have a few other things in common too: They express strong opinions and support them with interesting and relevant details; they provide readers with background on the work and put it into context; and they stand out for their creative use of language, style and tone.
