Film review: The Hunger Games. Sci-fi adventure, 2012. In the future the USA is a new country called Panem. Every year the Capitol of Panem chooses 12 boys and 12 girls to go on a TV show called The Hunger Games. In this TV show the teenagers have to fight until there is only one person left.
- Show Students Film Review Examples. To begin, I like to lead a brief whole-class discussion where we chat about the difference between getting a recommendation from a friend and reading a professional movie review.
- Know Your Audience. As we wrap up this lesson, I ask students to consider the audience of each review. For example, is the review aimed at children, adults, or even a teen magazine?
- Teach How to Watch the Film. The next step is to teach students how to watch a film with purpose, rather than simply for pleasure! In an ideal situation, I recommend watching a film twice.
- Provide Common Vocabulary. As part of a film study, it’s important for students to be able to speak the “language” of movie making. After viewing the movie, I like to take some time to outline some key terms to help students write their reviews.
