Write a review

Include: background info,

plot & main characters,

your opinion,

a summary of your opinion & recommendation.

...is the latest film directed by...

for your favourite or

least favourite movie

You may get your laptop for this.

Welcome!

Get your film reviews ready so that you can swap with another person. 

Give each other feedback. Did they do these things:

- write about the background (when, what, who)

- write about the plot & main characters

- write their opinion

- give a recommendation

Switch reviews with another person. Read their review and write 1 tip
and at least 1 top into this LessonUp.

I feel like I can write a simple (& good)
review of a film.
