Editor's Notes
Distribute enough sample reviews for at least one per person at each table. Variety of reviews such as restaurant, online links, accommodation, products, movies, live theatre, videogames. Groups read their reviews and generate a list of features that they have in common. E.g. They provide information about the subject of the review; point out strengths and weaknesses; make a recommendation or not.
