Good question. Our original objectives read as follows:
As I researched my choice, Peter Pan vs. the movie Hook, I noticed there are other routes we could take:
If you come up with another take on how you'd like to study your movie, ask me. What we will do is review a film adaptation taken from a piece of literature and critique it in a speech presentation, including at least one clip from the movie on YouTube or DVD. The movie should be rated G, PG or PG-13.
We don't need to write our own papers from scratch, since we only have ten days of school left. I would like us to find our information online, and spend the time re-reading and paraphrasing, a huge part of writing any research prompt.
Our goals for today? As a group, decide on which film you'd like to use, and begin your web search for at least three credible web sources. Tomorrow, I'll have mine for you, and I'll model the paraphrasing process as we go.
One other requirement - each team should choose a different story from everyone else in their class. We don't want 5 reports on Cinderella. Variety is good, so lets mix our topics up. We'll begin the writing process tomorrow. Today, find your sources and bookmark them. 😀
- Compare an original story with its Disney remake. How was it changed for the screen? Which version do you prefer, and why?
- Compare any book, short story, comic or graphic novel to its movie version. How was it changed for the screen? Which version do you prefer, and why?

- Compare different movie versions of the same story, like Disney's animated Beauty and the Beast against its live-action remake from this year.
