                        7. Creating a Critical Response

                        Here you will find guidance on how to create a review using a variety of different formats, including written reviews, video blogs and podcasts.

                        A robust unpacking process and discussion will be enough to bring the experience to a close for many groups of young critics.

                        For some it is a natural progression to want to create a solid critical response and this can be part of a group or individual process.

                        In this section you will find guidance on how to create a review using a variety of different formats, including written, audio and video reviews. You will also find sample reviews created by former young critics.
