Movie Review Grammar & Writing Activity, Grades 6–12

Last month I shared simple ideas to make grammar instruction meaningful and enjoyable. My number one tip in the blog post was keeping grammar exercises relevant. Relevancy creates engagement and gives choice, both of which make learning more meaningful for students.

My Movie Review Grammar Activity is an example of a lesson that uses relevancy (and the interests of my students) to make learning more enjoyable. Have students write a movie review about a movie that was made from a book! With this simple grammar exercise, students will tap into their inner movie critic and write a 250-word review that compares and contrasts the book with the movie. You can also modify this grammar lesson to have students write a review of the latest blockbuster!
