Checking

Writing

Write your review (200-250 words).

Thinking about your intended audience Remember not to give too much of the story away when you are writing a review of a play or film. This would spoil everything for people reading the review then going to see the performance.

As you write your review, check that you have:

• included all the necessary details.

• written the right amount.

• organised your review logically in paragraphs.

• used phrases, adverbs, etc. to make your writing more interesting for your readers.

• used link words to make your review coherent.

• made some personal recommendations about the play or film.

• not given away surprises.
