Learning Targets
• Analyze film and text in order to compare/contrast and evaluate the director’s choices.
• Generate and evaluate performance choices.
Viewing Shakespeare on Film
1. Unlike comparing novels to film versions, turning a play script into a movie allows the viewer to make a close comparison. Think about the extent to which the film scripts adhere to or stray from the original Shakespeare scene and how the actors make the lines come alive through their voices, expressions,
and movements.
2. As you view the film or a scene from A Midsummer Night’s Dream, take notes on what you observe. Use the graphic organizer for either “Actors” or “Directors.”
