In the "Sample Compositions etc." area in the menu at left, read the various files on "Film Treatment," even if you are not going to suggest making a film out of one of the works in the book;  you can use the same ideas to suggest a video game adaptation, a sitcom, a comic book or graphic novel, or any other form of adaptation. For your discussion board, put up at least the broad outlines of your proposal for your classmates to read and comment on.  This peer review, if you are open enough with sharing your ideas and your critiques, will help you refine your proposal for turning it at the end of unit 9, on August 23.  Remember, you are not to make the adaptation itself--I don't want to have to watch ten 30-minute episodes of "Dateline: Araby"--but only the 1,000-1,250 word project proposal.  I have included a series of rough sketches as a powerpoint slide show to illustrate my idea--and by "rough" I mean things like you can still see the spiral binding of the sketchpad I drew my scenes in.  It is not the finished product, nor is it meant to be;  it is the illustration for a proposal.
