Literature Of Film Class Ms. Schroll's Ela Classes 2019

Welcome to Literature and Film!
The purpose?
• To examine literary works and their film counterparts and analyze the distinguishing techniques of each medium.
• To examine the role of the 'hero' and 'antihero' in literature and film
  How will we do this?
• By comparing and contrasting their relative strengths and weaknesses
• By reviewing the art of adapting literature to film
• By explaining how each medium addresses questions of existence and examines questions of meaning and knowledge and ways of thinking and knowing
• By explaining the use of narrative in literature and film, and describing how the narrative format tranlates basic human values and assumptions
• By identifying and exemplifying various genres in literature and film
• By evaluating how each medium addresses moral, aesthetic, and other values
• By comparing and contrasting verbal metaphors with audiovisual metaphors in literature and film
• By identifying and exemplifying the use of symbols in literature and film, especially those relating to basic values, assumptions, and interpretations of human experience.

What will group work involve?
• You will be expected to work in groups for some key projects in this class.
• You will also create a final group video project.
• Students will periodically fill out evaluations on their own performances as well as on other group members.
• If students are frustrated by the performance of fellow members of their assigned groups, students will have the option of firing them by voting them out of their groups.
• Fired students have two options: get hired by another group or complete the assignments alone.
• Businesses and other organizations continually ask colleges to promote group work because they need employees who can work on projects together.
• The purpose of these projects is to meet this demand.

What is the final project?
• The final film project involves shooting a short documentary.
• After reading The Grapes of Wrath and studying the film counterpart, students will video tape seniors citizens discussing their experiences living through the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl.
• Students will then edit the video into a short minute documentary including images and sounds of the period and play the video at the retirement center for the senior citizens.
• This project will take the place of a traditional final exam.

Honors Projects
• As you know, all Honors projects require: research, writing, and presentations.
• Create a Web Collection of primary and secondary source materials and draw conclusions (example due something on Fort Huachuca).
• Choose a literary work and compare it to the film version.
• Choose a literary work and compare it to the film version focusing on 'the hero' in literature.
• Choose a literary work and compare it to the film version.
• Create a video that relates to one of the works or themes
• Create a Comic Life Graphic Novel
• Choose another play by Shakespeare and create your a video
• Shoot a documentary on another topic that you think is important: hunger and homelessness, endangered species, recycling, etc.

How does attendance affect grades?
• In-class work cannot be made up. If you miss the class, you forfeit the in-class points.
• The final video project takes the place of a final exam.
• If students miss the presentation at the senior center, they forfeit the final grade points.

What are the requirements?
• Attendance: Due to group work, class discussions, group seminars and presentations, andfrequent use of films in class, attendance is mandatory and missed classes will impact final grades.
• Reading Assignments: to be completed by the dates listed in the course outline in orderfor students to pass the related assignments.
