- Summary:
- English Teacher Claire Leech at Warden Park School in Sussex has a lively class with a disproportionate number of boys so she plans to capture their interest by asking them to review the way commentators have covered the English team's performance in the World Cup. Some of her pupils are given broadsheets to study while others decode tabloid coverage. The emphasis is on spotting and decoding clique, style and bias. At Westminster City School in Victoria, English teacher Leon Hady class of Year 8 boys are also decoding reviews. They start by learning a new reviewing word - in this case, enthralling . In the main part of the lesson they study an entertaining Guardian review of the Hulk written as if it had been composed by the film's leading character and are then asked to write their own review. In the Plenary Leon plans a longer writing task based on reviewing a short French animation.
