The Martian movie (PG-13) was released in 2015. It was based on Andy Weir's book The Martian. Join me for a fantastic and thought-provoking discussion after you read the classroom edition of the book and watch the 2015 movie.

This fun and relaxed movie discussion will foster a love of stories and lay the foundations for future literary analysis. Learners will be encouraged to share their ideas, thoughts, and conclusions about various aspects of the book and movie in a relaxed and encouraging atmosphere.

BEFORE OUR MEETING
Learners should read (or listen to) the book and watch the movie. 

Our discussion will focus on comparing the movie version to the book version. We will compare our vision for the characters, the setting, and the story to the producer's vision. We'll also share what we loved and didn't love about the screen version of this book.

MEETING INFORMATION
During our meeting, I will facilitate a roundtable discussion and make sure everyone has a chance to share their ideas. I'll guide the students as they express their opinions and listen to others. 

Upon registering for class, you will receive a guide with 20 possible questions we will discuss at our meeting.

After our discussion, everyone will be asked to share a favorite quote, character, or moment from the movie. 

Finally, we always end our meeting with a bit of fun! We will play the game, "Movie Scattergories." You will receive more information in the movie club packet that you will receive upon registering.

I can't wait to discuss this movie with you. Happy Reading!
