Today, you will have the opportunity to practise your compare and contrast skills while having fun watching a few clips of Great Expectations, and writing about them.
Task 1:
Click on the following links one at a time and view the film version of the introductory chapters of Great Expectations
1st version -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8YTCe_wx1w&feature=related – P1 (5 mins)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIiBEYoR250&feature=related – P2 ( first 3 mins only)
2nd version -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pe6LRAEHkoU&feature=related – P1 ( 7.16 mins)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZSRL2cytcY&feature=related – P2 (8 mins)
Now that you have watched both versions, write a short paragraph (about 200 words) to compare and contrast the 2 versions of the first few chapters of the text. Remember, compare and contrast implies talking about both similarities and differences!! If you feel like referring to your book, please feel free to do so as well.
It is clear that the 1st production is for a school project while the 2nd is professional., so it is expected that the quality and choice of actors will be significantly different. your task is to focus on the literary significance of similarities and/or differences you notice in the productions.
Task 2:
As your second task for today, please write a short piece on how the film version(s) have influenced your reading, understanding and or interpretation of the text.
Enjoy
Ms Expectations :)
