We hope you enjoyed the brilliant 'Boyz N The Hood' film at The Everyman, Canary Wharf.
Now you have a few tasks to help you reflect on the film...
1. Read this Guardian article about the director: John Singleton reflects on Boyz N the Hood: 'I didn't know anything'. It's incredible that he was only 24 years old when he wrote Boyz N the Hood, becoming both the first African-American and the youngest person ever to be nominated for the best director Oscar!
2. Read this short 5 star Guardian review of the film commemorating the 25th anniversary since the film's original release.
3. Read the Into Film Festival guide to 'Boyz N The Hood' that contains some general info and a few questions for you to think about (no need to write the answers).
4. Read the Into Film Festival review writing competition details, especially the Top Tips PDF.
5. Carry out some additional research if necessary - the IMDB website about the film is a good place to start - and then write your own original 300 word review of the film. Post up the review on your blog, then copy it out by hand onto the competition entry form which you'll receive in your lesson.
Deadline for completion and submission of all tasks: Monday 21/11/16.
