This term we will be looking at how stories have been adapted into films - focusing on Great Expectations, Oliver, Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter.
In the first week we will be starting our study by looking at Oliver (reading an extract from the book as well as looking at different versions of adaptation for the screen). Then we will move on to begin looking at Great Expectations.
Homework this week: Both 'Oliver' and 'Great Expectations' were written by Charles Dickens. Do some research and find out what you can about him. Either post it to this blog or bring it to the lesson on Tuesday 24 April (remember - all homework will be handed in on the Tuesday each week).
You could always read both the books too - this will give you an advantage when it comes to writing about the novels as a whole...
