B2U4 Developing Ideas By the end of the class, I will be able to: 1) understand the reasons behind the unsuccessful movies based on books ; 2) analyze how this passage is orangized 3) think criticalliy when making judgements Learning Objectives(学习目标): Have you ever seen a movie or TV series adapted from famous books? What do you think of them? Good Book, Bad Movie? Read for main idea 1. What’s the thesis statement? (论点) 2. Why are movie adaptations less satisfactory than the original books? 3. What’s the writer’s point of view (conclusion)? what will we talk about? Thesis statement: (Para. 1) All too often, great words end up being turned into cinematic “turkeys” unsuccessful movies great books/novels Reason1: (Para. 3) Reason 2: (Para. 4) Conclusion:(Para. 5) Loss of characters and details Movies don’t look the way we imagined them in the books. Judge a movie in its own right. Read for detailed information 1. What makes good movies according to Para. 2? 2. What’s the function of Para. 2? 3. Read Para. 2-Para. 4 and finish Activity 3? 4. What are the advantages of TV series? what will we talk about? Thesis statement: All too often, great words end up being turned into cinematic “turkeys”. e.g. The Odyssey The Great Gatsby Alice in Wonderland Examples are used to explain the thesis statement. Good movies need good stories. If so, why has one of the earliest and greatest works in Western storytelling, Homer’s The Odyssey, never had an equally great movie based on it? Movies need strong characters. So why have the movies based on The Great Gatsby never been praised as “great”? Movies of course need impressive images, so why has Alice in Wonderland only resulted in movies best described as “interesting”? Paraphrase: Although the book, Homer’s The Odyssey, has good stories, it never had an equally great movie based on it. Although the book... the movie... unsuccessful movies great books/novels Read for detailed information 1. What makes good movies according to Para. 2?
