(W, P) Warm up:
Ask students what film review
is and what the purpose of it. Ask students whether they read or
watch film reviews.
Ask students what they think
should be included in a film review.
(I, P, W) Reading and
Listening
Students read a sample book
review and decide whether the review is good for someone who wants
to see the film for the first time.
Students should notice that
the review tells
us who lives and who dies.
This is called a spoiler as it spoils the film for the viewer and
is something that should be avoided in a good
review.
Students read again and
underline all the film vocabulary they can find in the review
(Directed
by
/ It stars / special
effects / actors / characters / story
/
big
screen). Highlight the words which
are nouns (e.g. actor / director /
star) which can also be verbs and
vice versa. Elicit or give any other vocabulary you think is
appropriate for your students.
There were three adjectives
used in the review that mean very good. Ask students whether they
can remember them. Scan to find them:
incredible / excellent /
fantastic. Students then do the
matching task. Draw students’ attention that they can’t always
add very in front of the stronger
adjectives but you can always add really: X
very
excellent V
really
excellent
Tell students they are going
to make a review – but not a written review, a recorded one. This
can either be filmed as a video, or just an
audio.
Ask students to watch the
movie review you have chosen. Their first task is to decide how
positive the review is.
For
the second task students look at the chart in part 5. They listen
again and put a tick in the B column if the things in A have been
mentioned. They don’t have
to
write anything – only put a tick. Make sure students aren’t writing
in column C. After listening, students compare their charts and
answers can be checked with the class. If students heard the name
of the movie, etc.
that’s good, but it’s not important. See if the
students heard any adjectives used. Ask students if they liked the
review.
Film review
Students are now ready to consider their own
review. They should work in pairs and together fill in the
information in column C. This should only be in note form. They
should not include a spoiler or give too much of the story away!
They should use some of the movie vocabulary as well as some
extreme adjectives.
Using the notes, each student
practises talking about the movie. They should practise until they
are confident about being recorded. Ideally, students should aim
for
one minute. It can be longer
but a shorter review is more interesting than a longer one to
listen to.
After the reviews have been
recorded the videos can be uploaded to
YouTube.
They can then be watched by
all the students in another lesson.
The same thing could be done
with audio recordings.
Formative
assessment
Evaluate students’ recorded
film reviews. Simplify rubrics for students for peer
assessment.
