De la página a la pantalla: un club de lectura de películas para estudiantes de secundaria

Join us for an exciting journey through the world of books and movies! In this book club, students will read a carefully selected novel before our first class meeting, where we will discuss the book’s themes, characters, plot, and writing style. Before the second session, students will watch the movie adaptation on their own or with family, preparing to analyze the differences and similarities between the two versions. Our class meets once per week to allow students time to finish the book and movie! The first week we will discuss the book, and the next week we will discuss the movie adaptation. 

During our discussions, we will explore why filmmakers make certain changes, what gets left out or added, and whether the movie captures the heart of the book. Students will debate what worked well, what they would change, and whether they preferred the book or movie version. Along the way, they’ll strengthen reading comprehension, critical thinking, and analytical skills, all while having fun with stories they love.

Perfect for avid readers, young movie buffs, and curious thinkers, this book club makes reading exciting and interactive. Get ready for deep discussions, fun debates, and a chance to explore storytelling like never before!
