| Summary: | This lesson created by Natasha Nicol, Head of English at Peacehaven Community College, helps students build their confidence in writing an extended piece of work. In the featured lesson, the students are writing a review of the film The Others, but the lesson format can be used for any extended writing piece. The lesson starts with paired work, getting the students to develop their vocabulary in a synonym competition. It's then into the main part of the lesson where the class is broken down into groups, each with the responsibility of writing one part of the review. Finally one member of each group reads their paragraph back to the class. All resources required to run this lesson are attached, including a lesson plan, instructions for writing a film review, shared review writing forms and some film review snippets of the film to get the students started.
