Pbs Learning Media: Adapting Dickens: From Page to Screen

Curated by ACT

Students focus on the opening scene of the Great Expectations film to examine the process of adapting the novel by Charles Dickens for the screen. Students compare and contrast the film and the original text to consider the strengths of each medium and faithfulness to original text. Students write an essay comparing the two versions or develop a pitch for their own film adaptation.
