Maniac Magee Movie
Mrs. Crews's 6th grade class has finished the Maniac Magee novel. This week we are watching the movie. We have asked student to use a Venn Diagram to discuss the similarities and differences between the novel and the movie. On Tuesday, the students will answer one of the following questions. Students should follow the ERR format when answering the questions.
1. After reading the novel and viewing the movie, which do you believe creates the better experience? Would you recommend students read the book or watch the movie. Use evidence from both to support your answer, and be sure to interpret your evidence with your own ideas.
OR
2. Compare and contrast the Maniac Magee movie and the novel. Explain any similarities or differences. Be sure to interpret your evidence. Explain how it made the book or movie, better or worse. Use evidence from the movie and novel to support your answer, and be sure to interpret your evidence with your own ideas.
