For this assignment, we will be using the Overleaf Editor, which we will learn about during Week 11 of the course. Please check the task and the instructions for this in the Week 10 materials, where you can also find a ZIP file you should upload to Overleaf to complete your work. As most of are new to Overleaf, just keep the template the same and fill in the relevant sections with your own work.
I will attach the template and a sample

Assignment overview:
For this assignment you will need your chosen story or novel and scenes for the project; all readings, articles, and glossaries. In addition, the linked article and links in the learning materials can be helpful to start thinking about what a screenplay looks like. We will do much more description, but you can see where it will go. Read a bit down into the article for an example of a screenplay to see what you will eventually create.

Columbia Film Glossary
In this Assignment, using the tool of your choice, you will write and draw connections between ideas you may have now for the following. Consider what might be more effective for the mood you want to create, the emotion you want to emphasize:
Setting
Point of view we will view the action through
Characterization (ideas for clothing, speech, mannerisms, accents, appearance, attitude)
Props in setting
Whether you want a voiceover narration in addition to dialogue
Do you want close ups, personal distance, intimate distance?
Do you want to create a stable visual sense or something off and slightly foreboding (we can talk about how later)?
Do you want color or black and white?
What kind of timeline would you want to utilize? Where in the story would this be?
Is this an addition to an existing scene or an entirely new scene (you may do either)?
Is it a flashforward, a flashback, or another point of view from a new character?
Assignment instructions:
First, state your chosen text from the course(Roman fever by Edith Wharton). What book or story from the course are you going to use for the project? From this text (story or novel), you will eventually adapt two scenes for the final project. You may alter the scenes in your adaptation by adding to them, or even creating another character in addition to a character already represented in your scenes.
In this assignment, list at least one of the scenes you are thinking of adapting at this point. In your initial paragraph, discuss why you have picked it, and what you would like to emphasize from the scene/story in your adaptation (this may change, of course). Write at least a paragraph in which you list the point of view from which the scene will be told, the characters involved, and the general setting. You will decide and tell us here from which point of view you will tell your scene.
In a second paragraph, identify three running ideas throughout the scene or through the larger text that you would like to emphasize. Identify and describe these tropes and/or themes in this paragraph.
In a third paragraph, briefly describe what settings the scene/s will take place in–both generally/historically in time, and more specifically, in place. All of this will be filled out as you revise moving forward.
Finally, make a thought or concept map. You may want to utilize Diagrams.net, or you may want to hand draw a thought map, and scan it and upload it here. You may list on it as well. The key is to begin to think and connect ideas and identify things to decide upon. You won’t decide everything at this point. There are many, many ways to brainstorm visually. If you search for “brainstorming” or “mapping” you will find lots of ideas and examples. The most important thing is to get down all the things that you will need to decide and begin thinking about what you will need to research.
In addition, and you may write this into your thought map, make a list of at least three things you will need to research to be accurate in your depiction of costuming, props, scenic background (the actual place as it would have appeared at the time for example), or whatever else you may need to create for the scene. We will work on this research as we move forward.

Write a comparative analysis of at least 750 words. Format your paper according

Write a comparative analysis of at least 750 words. Format your paper according to the MLA. A comparative essay compares and contrasts two or more literary works, genres, themes, characters, or authors. The goal is to analyze similarities and differences to gain a deeper understanding of the works being compared. Here are some guidelines for writing a comparative essay in an introductory class on literature:
1. Select two literary works among those we read so far in class and make sure to identify elements of comparison to make a meaningful essay. I ATTACHED TWO FILES OF POEMS BY TWO DIF AUTHORS, BOTH WHO WROTE ON ITALIAN WOMEN. YOU CAN PICK ONE POEM FROM EACH FILE TO COMPARE TO EACH OTHER. 1 from Gianna Patriarcha and 1 from Antonio. 2. Your thesis should clearly state the main argument or interpretation that you will develop in your essay. It should focus on the similarities and differences you will explore in your comparison.
3. Structure your essay with a clear introduction, body paragraphs that each focus on a specific point of comparison, and a conclusion that summarizes your analysis and restates your thesis.
4. Support your arguments with specific examples and quotes from the literary works you are comparing. Make sure to properly cite your sources according to the MLA. 5. Avoid simply summarizing the works you are comparing. Instead, focus on analyzing how the works are similar or different in terms of themes, characters, style, narrative techniques, symbols, or other literary elements. Consider why these similarities and differences are significant in helping readers understand the texts.
6. Think about the time period, cultural background, and social issues that may have influenced the authors and their works. Discuss how these factors contribute to the similarities or differences between the texts.
7. In your conclusion, reflect on the significance of your comparison and offer insights into why the similarities and differences you’ve identified are important to understanding the works selected. 9. Before submitting your comparative essay, revise it for clarity, coherence, and flow. Check for grammar, punctuation, and spelling errors, and make sure your writing is well-organized and effectively communicates your analysis.

1. Choose one significant change that the opera Dido & Aeneas (Purcell/Tate) makes to
Virgil’s Aeneid (e.g. a new character, a change in a character’s behavior, a change to the

understanding of the overall Dido/Aeneas story?
2. Whose argument in favor of sex is more persuasive: Donne’s (in “The Flea”) or Marvell’s
(in “To His Coy Mistress”)? Explain.
3. Would it be possible to do a movie version of Oroonoko today? If so, explain what the
biggest challenge(s) would be and how you might overcome them. If not, why not?
However you answer the question, your argument should be based on concrete, detailed
evidence.

The name of the ENL teacher who I am observing, Georgia Ikonomou. She is from Greece. She has been teaching for over 20 years. I also uploaded pictures of some of the handouts of the lessons she taught the days I observed her class, to be used. I uploaded the “reflective journal 1” as well use the informations from it.
