Activity #1
Compare & Contrast Mini-Essay
Important: Focus on the - The Plot's Climax - How do the events in the movie compare to the events in the book? Focus on the climax. Ask yourself, "Did the movie omit, insert, or change any of the events in the climax?"
- Conflicts - Are the characters conflicts resolved the same way in the movie as they are in the book
- Falling Action & Resolution - How do the resolutions compare?
Writing Strategy - Constructing a written response with:- Introduction
- Claim (about both the book and movie)
- Evidence (from both the book and movie)
- Reflection
Each question will be worth 10 points.
Introduction = 2Claim = 2Evidence = 2Reflection = 2Mechanics = 2Total = 10
YOUR CLAIM SHOULD BE ABOUT THE PLOT'S CLIMAX, THE FALLING ACTION, THE RESOLUTIONS FOR KEVIN'S CONFLICTS, OR THE RESOLUTIONS FOR MAX'S CONFLICTS
Examples from part 1 :Block 1
(I) By reading the book, Freak the Mighty and watching the movie,The Mighty, I have discovered they are different in many ways. (C) One big thing that is different is the plot. (E) In particular the scene when Kevin gets his ornithopter stuck in a tree. In the book Max helps Kevin get his toy out of the tree, but in the movie he runs away from Kevin and never helps him. (R) In my opinion the book is much better than the movie, however the movie is still pretty awesome.
Block 2
(I) By reading the book, Freak the Mighty, and watching the movie, The Mighty, I have concluded that there are many differences between them. (C) One major difference is the plot. (E) In the book Kevin gives them the new name of “Freak the MIghty” on the 4th of July when a police officer asks for their name, but in the movie they just skip that part completely. Instead, the movie inserted a scene with Max and Kevin helping a woman in a diner. (R)In my opinion the book is better than the movie.
Block 3
(I) By reading the book and watching the movie I have learned that there are many differences between the book, Freak the Mighty, and the movie, The Mighty. (C)One of the most important differences between them is the setting. (E) In the book Max lives in a small town, and the events take place in the summertime before 8th grade, but in the movie he lives in a big city, and the events take place during the school year while max is in the 7th grade. (R) In my opnion the movie is better than the book
Block 4
The book Freak the Mighty and the movie “The Mighty” are very different. One difference I noticed was the plot. Max and Kevin’s friendship did not start the same way in the movie as it did in the book. In the book Max helps Kevin get the ornithopter out of the tree and then the boys played with it. In the movie Max sees Kevin with the ornithopter and it gets stuck in the tree, but Max does not help Kevin. Instead, Max runs away because Kevin notices him. In my opinion the book is much better than the movie
