This resource is designed to introduce young people to the art of reviewing and develop their critical thinking and literacy skills. The Creating Effective Film Reviews PowerPoint presentation can be used as a standalone literacy lesson or to accompany a film screening in a school setting or at a larger cinema event.

This is a detailed lesson that introduces learners to the concept of film reviews and guides them through creating their own.

This guide offers flexible approaches to reviewing films and is designed for classroom use or film club sessions. It will work with any film and can be easily adapted to suit your group and available time. The activity sheets that accompany the PowerPoint provide activities for learners to complete before, during and after watching the chosen film. They can be used in conjunction with the lesson but also function as standalone resources.
