Teaching Methods Task-based language teaching Cooperative learning Question and answer method IV.Teaching Procedures Step 1: Lead-in (5 minutes) 1.Greeting: "Today, we're going to explore an interesting topic: The Media, specifically how stories move from the written page to the big screen." 2.Display the pictures. Ask students: "Have you ever watched a film adapted from a book? Which is better, the original book or the film? Why do you think so?" Show examples like Harry Potter and The Legend of 1900. 3. Display the Discussion Questions . Guide students to think about: "How do different media (books vs. films) tell stories differently? What are their unique strengths?" Step 2: Pre-reading (5 minutes) Activity 1: Ask students to look at the title "From Page to Screen" and answer the questions: What does "page" refer to? (the book) What does "screen" refer to? (the film) What does the title mean? (It means adapting books to make films or TV series.) Step 3: While-reading (20 minutes) Task 1: Fast Reading (Skimming) (5 mins) 1.Ask students to read the passage quickly and choose the main topic. What is the main topic of the passage? (Option C: The challenges of book-to-film adaptations). 2. Ask students to match the parts of the passage with their main ideas to understand the text structure. Text structure Para.1 Introduce the topic and the writer’s opinion. Para.2 Introduce the source material and two key questions. Para.3-6 Analyze the main challenges for filmmakers. Para.7 Give successful examples and draw a conclusion. Task 2: Careful Reading (Scanning) (10 mins) 1.Ask students to read Para. 1-2 and fill in the blanks about the source materials for adapted films. 2.Ask students to read Para. 3-6 carefully and complete the chart about the main challenges (Not close to the original, The cast, Technical reasons, Writer's involvement). Task 3: Deep Reading (5 mins) Ask students to answer the questions based on their reading: 1.Why do audiences often feel “the film is not like the book”? Because the film is short, so plots are left out, changed, or given different endings. 2.What elements influence the success of an adaptation? Screenwriting, casting, technology, and respect for the original work. 3.What is the writer’s final opinion? It is not a good idea to watch a film of a book you love, though some adaptations are successful. Step 4: Post-reading (10 minutes) Activity: 1. Ask students to retell the challenges in their own words. 1.Not close to the original. (Screenwriters have to cut or change parts of the story due to time limits.) 2.The cast does not match the readers' imagination. (Readers have their own ideas about what the characters should look and sound like.) 3.There are technical difficulties. (Some scenes from the book are hard to film, even with modern technology.) 4.The original writer may not be satisfied with the film version. (Writers can be too close to their work to adapt it well, or they may disagree with the changes made.) 2.Organize a short debate on the topic: "Books are always better than their film adaptations." Divide the class into two sides (Affirmative and Negative) and let them argue their points. Step 5: Summary & Value Guidance (3 minutes) Activity: Briefly summarize the key points of the lesson. Introduce the concept of "media literacy" and its four components (Access, Analyze, Evaluate, Create). Encourage students to be discerning consumers and thoughtful creators in the digital age. Step 6: Homework (2 minutes) Activity: Explain the homework task: Create a short video (1-2 minutes) to introduce a book-to-film adaptation they like or dislike. Clearly state the requirements: a clear introduction and conclusion, and personal opinion with reasons. V.
