New Site

We're making a change to the way that we release work for our classes. The main lessons (the things that we'll do in class each day) will now be found at the site "Optimal Beneficial Moreover Detrimental: Classroom." We're keeping this site, with a slightly different name, in order to release a reading a day for students to practice their reading at home. Each post will contain a link to a reading, along with a list of assignments that can be completed for that reading.

22.2. Research: How Does a Book Become a Movie?

We're going to start talking about research this week, because I want your group's blog to have a researched, collaborative essay on a reading-related topic (note the comma between equal adjectives and the hyphenated adjective).

Things to know about research:

1. It's takes a really long time.
2. It's really important to you if you are going to college.
3. It's built on ideas that are really interesting.

Here is the prompt:

Write a research report about the process of turning a book into a movie. Choose a book that someone in your group has read, then conduct research on the process online. How does a book get turned into a movie?

Here's the document where you should keep all your work. Make a copy and share it with your group and me.
