What we’re studying
A practical transactional writing class focused on the review. Students learn what makes a review work — a clear opinion backed by specific detail, a confident voice, and a structure that guides the reader from hook to verdict — and how it differs from other transactional forms. With emphasis on vivid, precise vocabulary to bring judgements to life, and a video-gaming exam task to put it into practice, it builds the skills to write engaging, persuasive opinion pieces under exam conditions.
