Personal Response: I enjoyed both the movie and the book. The first time I saw this movie was when it came out in 2005 and being that I was only familiar with the Gene Wilder version, not the actual book, I did not care for the Johnny Depp version. However, as I followed along with my book while I watched the movie I was so surprised at how closely they followed the book. So much of the movie dialogue is taken straight from the text. I was even unable to find differences between the book and the movie in the section where they are in the nut room and Veruca decides to get a squirrel to take home. I also very much enjoyed reading the song lyrics in the book and realizing they are the same lyrics in the movie! For me, that was so exciting to …show more content…
The movie does a good job using the lyrics from the song in the book, but there are a lot of lines not used. I think children would enjoy singing the entire song in the same style it is sung in the movie. Another cross curriculum activity would to study, like Mike says, the difference between particles and waves and how televisions really function. Televisions are something most children have access to and have watched and I think it would be a fun science tie in. The third activity I thought about was a reader’s theater for the book. I would split my students into groups and assign each group a certain part of the book and have them recreate for the class their section. You could even tie in the music activity into this section as well by having them sing the song (or another group) in their section. Finally, I might tie in a social studies and science lesson by having my students trace how a cocoa bean becomes a bar of chocolate. They can research where cocoa is grown (geography,) how it is grown (science,) learn about fair trade vs. non fair trade, imports and exports, supply and demand (economics) as well as the process that happens when the cocoa beans finally make it to the factory
Finally, for homework I would assign the reading of excerpts of “Warriors Don’t Cry”, the memoir of Melba Pattillo Beals, one of the Little Rock Nine. I would ask the students to pretend that they were a student at Central High in 1957 and write a page long diary entry about what one would be seeing and how one would be feeling at this time. All of these activities would promote student-centered learning in that they are free to arrive at their conclusions independently, and they would help develop Formal Operational skills through hypothetical deductive logic.
Movies based on books are not always accurate relative to the plot of the book. In Fahrenheit 451 it can be said, there are some particular contrasts between the book and the movie. Despite the fact that the film emphasizes the subjects and premise of the book, there are numerous distinctions to differentiate. The motion picture Fahrenheit 451 is not accurate, taking into account the book's plot.
A Comparison A Sound of Thunder by Ray Bradbury and The Star by H.G. Wells
Have you ever read a book and then watched the movie and saw many differences? Well you can also find lots of similarities. In the book “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and the movie “Tom and Huck” there are many similarities and differences having to do with the characters personalities, the setting, the characters relationships with one another and the events that take place.
Stephen Kings book & movie The Shining you see a family who is struggling to stay together. Together through past drinking problems and abuse the family is still together. When Jack Torrence gets hired for a job at the overlook hotel. The family thinks this could help. Maybe it could help the marriage, maybe it could help Danny. But what they didn't know is that they were heading for their death. While comparing the Shining book and movie I found there were different sources of evil in both. Also, I saw that both the book and movie tried to stick with the same themes and suspense. Finally, I noticed that Danny is not as awkward in the book compared to the movie.
The books, A Wrinkle in Time and And Then There Were None, both have many differences in the movie versions. The directors of both movies change the plot to make the movie see fit to what they may have imaged the book to be, while still keeping the story line the same.
The stories of Nick Cassavetes The Notebook (2004) and Richard Curtis About Time (2013) are both similar yet different in their own ways. The Notebook is an American romance drama film starring Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling that was extremely successful not only in American box office but also shared great worldwide success. This film exemplifies the struggle between love and social class. Two young lovers have to face social class boundaries and put their loves on the line. The approach that this movie trying to make is a relevant topic in the world we inhabit today and undoubtedly contributed to this film’s success. The film is kind of slow, leaving some empty spaces along the way in order for the audience to fill in and fully engage with
For reading intervention, we did a color scavenger hunt. I had their color sight words on index cards, and they were to find something in the classroom that matched the color they read. For reading centers, we read the emergent readers. This is a book full of arctic animals, and HOT questions. After we read the story we did a different yoga pose for each animal. For ELA whole group, we read the story “Three Cheers For Tacky.” After reading the story, we filled out a story map. They had to recall information from the story to fill in thud map. For ELA centers, we analyzed Tacky. Je was the main character in the story we
“The Legend of Sleepy Hollow”, one of the most classic books of all time, written by Washington Irving, was remade into a movie in 1999 by Director Tim Burton. Surprisingly there are many differences between the book and the movie, and little to no similarities. One of the major differences was that in the movie Tim Burton made Ichabod Crane a detective, while in the story he’s a nerdy teacher. Tim Burton did this to make the movie more interesting and for there to be a reason why Ichabod is so good at finding clues and solving the headless horseman case. Also they made Ichabod a little bit more brave in the movie so that there would be more action and drama in the movie. A total different between the story and the movie, is that they give a background of young Ichabod and his mother, but none of that was
Imagine a country with no murder crimes based on “non-human” life form that can see the future based on different murders. This process of stopping murderers is created in a short story named Minority report and then is later created into a film. The short story and the film are based on the same plot and the same ideas but still have some interesting changes throughout the whole story.
For Science, I would connect the boy planting a seed and watching his forest grow to the plant cycle. I would gather paper cups and bean seeds for each student. Each student would plant their seed inside of the cup and check on it periodically, recording what they observed by journals or pictures depending on the grade level, and predict what they believe will happen next. Once the plant has finished growing students will make connections as how their predictions differed from what they saw and compare it to how the forest grew in the story. In addition, to connect the story to art, I would have students individually create a piece of Taino inspired jewelry. First, I would research pictures of jewelry made by the tribe, then I would provide students with sufficient amounts of string, feathers, sea shells, sea-animal shaped beads/charms and stones (weaved around string to utilize). Students would be able to choose which items to use and paint them if needed to create their personal piece of
The book and the movie were both very good. The book took time to explain things like setting, people’s emotions, people’s traits, and important background information. There was no time for these explanations the movie. The book, however, had parts in the beginning where some readers could become flustered.
This activity will help students be caught up on current events and issues within society. I believe talking about important topics that may be a little controversial will teach students to be active members of society and embrace social change. I think talking about these subjects is an important part of socialization, and will teach young adults a basic understanding of inclusion and embracing diversity. I believe this will help students be more inclusive to their peers and people all over the world. I chose a randomly assigned group exercise in order to help students interact with other people they might not usually interact with. I also chose this activity because it helps young adults improve their basic skills such as reading, as they will be reading articles attempting to gain perspective and explaining what the article is about. Another basic skill they will be working on will be writing, as they have to write out their roles in order to present them to the large group of students. The young adults will also be improving their oral skills, as they will have to present their task to the class. I also chose this activity as it will help improve both independent and teamwork skills. This is because the students will have to work on their roles individually and also collaborate and discuss with their group in order to present their task to the class. I believe teamwork exercises especially with a randomly assigned group will help students learn to be more excepting and inclusive as each student is different and some students might have learning disabilities and as a group you are going to have to help your team out in order to give a cohesive presentation. I also chose this activity because it does not require much material; the activity basically only needs paper, pencils and pre-printed articles. I believe having
These activities were both enjoyable and teaching the kids different skills which is good to have in a classroom. In the word work station, kids got very excited when they completed their word puzzle and they would even tell Mrs. McKee to go look at what they did. The transition between stations was very smooth due to them doing these stations before and the use of a timer on the board. While I was there the students did not have any paperwork to turn in so I am not sure how they do that, but I did notice Mrs. McKee stored all of the kids work in a filing cabinet so that their work was easy to
"Books and movies are like apple and oranges. They both are fruit, but taste completely different.” said Stephen King (goodreads.com). It is indeed true, books and movies have several common things and yet have differences. They both give us the same story, but are viewed completely different. Reading books and watching movies are similar as they both tell a story and give details and information about the story. Reading books or watching movies gives the reader and the viewer the same feeling and emotions about the story. People can feel gloomy or pleased with the story after reading a book or watching a movie. Both books and movies have the same general concepts, which are the themes and main characters of
