Lesson: The Novel Experience

During one 90-minute classroom session (or two 60-minute sessions), students reading Harper Lee’s “To Kill a Mockingbird” (or an alternate novel or play) learn to adapt one chapter into a short film.

Led by the Robinson Film Center’s media educator, Meghan Hochstetler:

1) students compare and contrast literary and cinematic terms,

2) study how a novel’s story gets adapted into a one‐page screenplay,

3) and film and act in a short film.

Hochstetler edits the footage during class and shows the final results to the students. The Novel Experience is a focused opportunity for your students to compare and contrast film and literature.
