Lesson Plan

Better Lesson: Movie vs. Book

Curated by ACT

In this lesson, learners compare the video version of the teleplay "The Monsters are Due on Maple Street" to the actual teleplay. (A teleplay is a play or script written for television.) The links to media in this lesson no longer work, but it could easily be adapted to a different teleplay or to a stage show contrasted with a movie version. The lesson materials include handouts, graphic organizers, and samples of student work.
