Update: The Composition class is reading The Bridge to Teribithia and watching both the Disney version and the 1985 version. I just did a marathon of reading and watching Teribithia, which I had been pronouncing incorrectly! I think it will appeal to both boys and girls. I felt that the 1985 film version better portrayed the book; however, the Disney movie has broader appeal and is more engaging. We’re going to look at several questions and templates to assemble the lesson for next year’s class.
My Co-op Composition class is working on lessons for next year. We had another idea; let’s read a book and watch the movie adaptation, in order to write a comparison. Here are some combinations, such as Little Women or Matilda. On this list is The Princess Bride, which my kids this year want to tackle for the next assignment. We looked at this template; the kids will write the rubric on Tuesday. Here is another template; this one also has students write why they preferred the book or the movie. Lastly, here are discussion questions for a book-movie comparison. This is going to be fun!
