You are going to write a review of a play or a film. Use the following suggestions to plan your writing.

• Choose a play or film that interests you. Do not write a review of something you have not seen.

• Decide on the number of paragraphs you will write and the order in which they will appear.

• Decide what details the reader will need to know, e.g. the name of the film/play, where it is on, the background to the story, the setting, the author, actors, or any other interesting information.

• Make a list of what are the most important characteristics of the play or film, e.g. the (treatment of the) story, the number of actors, the special effects, the scenery, the location.
