Description
In this ReadWriteThink lesson, students take on the role of the director of a movie. After exploring cinematic terms, students read a literary work with a director's eyes, considering such issues as which scenes require a close-up of the main character and when the camera should zoom out to show the entire set. While reading the text, students record their scenes on a bookmark. Finally, students view the movie version of a favorite book. Several pieces of literature appropriate for use with this lesson are suggested. Less
