| Here is a movie review form I used to hand out in | | | | Title |
| Korean university classes. Students like to watch and | | | | Date Movie Released |
| review movies. It makes a good homework | | | | Length of Film (hours) |
| assignment. Ask the student to review a foreign film. | | | | Director's Name |
| Lazy student will want to review a film from their own | | | | Movie Filmed in what County(s)? |
| language. Student must sign up initially and state the | | | | Main Actors |
| film they will review. This prevents copying, another | | | | Language(s) |
| problem with lazy students. | | | | Subtitles or Subtext? |
| I gave this task to several classes and and found that | | | | What is the main theme and story? (use back of page |
| most students did not understand the term subtitles but | | | | for extra writing space) |
| they do understand text or subtext as these words | | | | What is the secondary theme? |
| are used to send text messages on their mobile | | | | Is this comedy, tragedy, dramatic, history, fiction, |
| phones (cell or handphones). So, the word subtitles | | | | doccumentary, animation? |
| needs to be explained in class before you send them | | | | Tell about the camera work. |
| off to do the review. Other students mistakenly wrote | | | | What things did you enjoy most? |
| down the present year and not the year the movie | | | | What did you dislike? |
| was released. Occasionally a movie is filmed in more | | | | Why would you recommend this film to a friend? |
| than one language and in more than one country. | | | | How would you rate it? 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 |
| Explain this too. Generally the homework was well | | | | Did you enjoy this homework? |
| done but many students cheat by downloading a copy | | | | Print your name |
| of an English language review they find on the net. | | | | Student number |
| Explain at the outset they must use their own writing. | | | | Professor's name |
