This scheme of work uses the superhero genre to engage lower achieving students, culminating in writing a formal film review. It works well with low to mid ability KS3 students and could appeal to boy heavy groups. The 14 lesson unit looks at the content and structure of a film review and supports their writing in the final assessment. It is fully resourced with superhero review exemplars, jigsaw readings, quizzes, crosswords and essay frames.
