4. Film Guidelines:
On one side of a clean sheet of notebook paper, please make a t-chart. Label the left side "Changes from Novel" and the right side "Effects of Changes." 
Just like an author makes conscious decisions in order to have a certain effect on the reader, a director is responsible for doing the same thing. Sometimes, certain aspects of a piece of writing don't translate so well to the big screen, so directors have to make changes. Sometimes this is done in order to bring about a similar effect as reading the novel, and other times the director will have a vision that differs slightly from the author's of from yours as you were reading. 
On the back side of your t-chart, keep track of things that were different than you imagined them in your head. These are things that are not necessarily different from the novel, but were not how you had envisioned them while you were reading. 
After the film's completion, you will respond to a question about the differences between a film and the piece of literature it is based upon.
