Type 3 Evaluation Essay TGG Review

Comparing & Contrasting Movies G.O. We will be making a graphic organizer to

compare and contrast each chapter (5, 7, 8)

Divide a piece of composition paper into 3 columns (TGG 2013, TGG Novel, TGG 1974)

Each column should have 4 categories (Characterization, Plot, Visuals, Music)

As we watch, record how each movie handles these elements in each chapter.

Pay special attention when a movie does something different than the book.

Type 3 Writing Which movie is a better version of The

Great Gatsby? Evaluate 1 chapter from both movies (chapter 5,

chapter 7, chapter 8). Support your evaluation with examples from

both movies (or from the actual novel). FCA 1: Create an essay with a clear main idea that is

supported with examples throughout (at least 3 per body paragraph). At least 1 body paragraph should explain why the other

version of the movie is inferior. FCA 2: Use a 5 paragraph essay format (introduction, 3

body paragraphs, conclusion). FCA 3: Write using the voice of an expert, a film critic.
