WHAT I NEED TO KNOW

 This module is intended to help you, learners, understand and master the
comparing and contrasting materials viewed and read. It is designed to equip you
with essential knowledge about the said topic and skills on the skills in English.

At the end of the module, you should be able to:

1) Compare and contrast information from two or more resources and think
about how the information from each source contributes to their
understanding of the topic.
2) Give the advantages and disadvantages of watching movies adapted from
books.
3) Write a two (2) paragraph essay explaining why you prefer watching the
movies than reading the text.
By the way, use a sheet of paper as your answer sheet to write your answers
of the different activities presented in this learning module. DO NOT ANSWER here
directly.

WHAT’S IN
In this module we are going to know the effective way to comprehend a story.
It is important for you learners to be able to compare and contrast ideas found in
multiple sources to enable them to identify conflicting information and consistent
information and critically evaluate sources. When you can compare and contrast
information, you can already make inferences and draw conclusions about topics.
Comparing and contrasting information from multiple sources allows you to get a
more comprehensive view of topics.
Let us take for example the popular magical movie of J.K. Rowlings, “Harry
Potter” movie series. The author had written the story and published it to be read by
people of all ages. Then, it was made into movies which hit the billboards of
cinemas.
Movies are made to entertain us. Likewise, the books. These two (2) have similar
genres. What are “genres.”
According to Webster’s Encyclopedic Unabridged Dictionary of the English
Language defines genre as “a category of artistic, musical, or literary composition
characterized by a particular style, form, or content.”
Genres of a short story text and movies are the same, they are both comedy,
romance, magical and historical. They both are in fiction and non-fiction.
Examples: Harry Potter – magical, The Notebook – romance, Heneral Luna –
historical, and others.

These movies are all based and adapted from books. Most likely, there are
differences between each book and its movies.

 Aside from the given examples, there are some similarities and difference of
stories in texts from movies.

Comparing and contrasting these 2 will help us a lot in understanding a story.

Let us use the familiar Venn Diagram to identify the similarities and differences of
these 2.

As, we can see clearly the similarities and differences of a story from books
and from movies adaptation, it makes us understand that stories would give us
points on which of these 2 are effective to make our comprehension skills be
develop. Moreover, its accessibility to us to hold onto the material.

WHAT IS IT
The activity above shows that movies are adapted from books. There are a lot
of differences and similarities that we can see from them. It was already explained
above using the Venn Diagram.
Books would give the story in details. from the characters until to the scene
and ending. However, it is rich in text and seldom will you be having pictures of it.
Comparing to the movies/films adaptations, it gives us a view of the scenes used in
the story.
Likewise, famous characters will be portraying the roles. It will be more
entertaining watching the movie.
