Comparing Text and Multimedia

This week, we will be focusing on comparing text to multimedia representations of that text. Students will be analyzing a chapter of The Fault In Our Stars, and then watching a clip from the movie of the same scene. They will be writing a short argumentative essay in which they compare and contrast formats and argue why one form made more of an impact than another.

Here are all of the materials for this assessment.

Chapter: The Fault In Our Stars Chapter 18
Video clip: The Fault In our Stars Clip YouTube
Rubric: Compare and Contrast (RL6.9); Argumentative Writing (W6.1)
Example: Example Argumentative Essay (Annotated)
