Each assignment must be 2-3 pages long, double spaced, and adhere to MLA citation and formatting standards. You must also use direct quotations from the original and/or adaptation that you view to support the arguments being put forth.
Assignment options:
1. Watch a film adaptation, live performance or videotaped live performance of any literary work and write a review of the film/stage adaptation.
2. Watch an adaptation of a literary work. Since you may not be familiar with the original work if you pick this extra credit option, instead of addressing how successful the adaptation was , you should focus on what you felt the major themes being put forth by the adaptation were and how successful you think the film was in conveying those themes.
3. Watch a film about any literary figure, event, or time period. This film could be an artistic/dramatic film or a documentary film. For your review, you should focus on how accurate a portrayal of the figure, event or time period the film presents. How does the film enhance your understanding of the time period and/or materials covered in this class?
4. Read any literary adaptation of a work and write a review.
