As part of my job, for my more mature students I must give an oral exam three times a year. I have to take each student out of the room and follow a specific sequence of questions and actions, requiring about 5 minutes for each student.

Therefore, I have to assign a class project to keep the students busy in the classroom.

I took evil pleasure in coming up with difficult, culturally relevant, and ironic projects for my classes.

My most advanced teens rose to the challenge, which was to write a favorable review of a movie called "Don't Go Into the Forest, Little Red!", a modern retelling of Little Red Riding Hood. Here are two reviews of this imaginary movie by 14-year-olds.

"Don't Go Into the Forest, Little Red!" is a retelling of a classic book about Little Red. This one is definitely much darker and terrjfjed than original. Little Red is played by Emma Stone who definitely had time of her life playing that. The plot stayed similar comparing to original. Little Red still want to get to her Grandma play by Oscar-winning actress Ellen Burstyn and then have to deal with a Wolf (played by Bill Murray). What is objectively good about a movie is it technical aspects. Naturalistic camera work, great lighting and big budget for sets and costumes, and special effects are defining a well made movie.

"Don't Go Into The Forest, Little Red!" is a interesting fantasy story. It has really good cast, like Christopher Lee playing the Hunter or Margot Robbie as a Little Red. The performance was good especially Margot Robbie who really get into her role. The film is set in a fantasy world with talking animals. The plot is about the Little Red who travels to her grandpa in order to give her a pie and a wine. At her journey she meet a wolf which ask her what is she doing here. She responds to him after that he pursue her to have fun in the forest and that is when he goes to Little Red grandpa and eat her. Then he dress up like her. In the end wolf eat but then comes the hunter which kills wolf and rescue the Little Red and her grandpa. The technical aspects of this file are very great especially in the last scene.
