Books vs Movies, Tuesday first period
"Good morning, class." Jon looked simultaneously wide awake and as if he hadn't slept. (Which, to be fair, he hadn't much.) "Those of you who haven't had me before, I'm Mr. Sims, and this is...well, a literature class, mostly, but also something I hope you'll find engaging.
"A lot of stories over the years have been written down and then made into films. Erm, for those of you not from this world or era, those are a method of recording and then showing stories visually. It's generally a process to move a story from written to filmed form, and changes are made for a variety of reasons. We're going to be reading a story each week, and then viewing a film that's been made from it, and we'll discuss the similarities and differences and what we think of them.
"Today, though, is for introductions. I should like to hear your names, which year you're in...erm, that is, in the school, although if you're from another year in time, that might be good to know, too...and if you have a favorite book or film or film made from a book."
He nodded at the first student to start.
