How are novels and scripts alike and different? As part of the mid-unit assessment, scholars complete a Venn diagram to compare two types of writing: a novel and a script. Next, they respond to short-answer questions, evaluating passages from the novel Esperanza Rising by Pam Muñoz Ryan and a readers theater script based on the same text.
