There is a reason why an Oscar is given each year for the Best Adaptation Screenplay. Adaptations are the focus of an exercise that asks class members to compare a work of literature with a least one adaptation of the work into a different genre. Students consider how the choice of genre necessitates or permits changes and whether they feel the changes are appropriate.
