Procedure (32-23 minutes)
I'll ask students (What's your favourite film? Why do you like it?) I'll tell them to work in pairs and do a preparation practice by giving them nine words to put in the correct group (types of film,people in the film,or words to describe films)
I'll tell the students before giving them the text that this Marta's film review about (The Hunger Games),then I'll ask them (Does Marta like the film or not?) give them just 1 minute to find the answer.finally, I'll give them a multiple choice practice to check their understanding for the text , check their answer in pairs,and give them written feedback.
I'll ask students to work in pairs to circle fact or opinion for sentences from the text to help students know how to express their opinion ,and how to tell facts.
I'll ask students to write a film review as Marta's about any film they want to motivate them to write , and I'll tell them the tips of writing: 1- start with the film's title . 2-The type of film.When was it made. 3-Explain the film's story but don't explain the ending! 4-Your opinion of the film. 5-Should people go and watch the film?
during monitoring I'll take notes of errors ,and in the end of the class I'll ask them to correct them,if they cannot I'll correct them .
