Write a 3-5 sentence paragraph comparing the text and film versions of a book, story, play or poem. Describe the main differences you noticed between the film and text versions.(4 points)
The text and film are often different because they are two different mediums. One major difference I noticed is that the text version is often more detailed and descriptive, while the film version often relies more on visuals and action. Additionally, the film version may make changes to the plot or characters for dramatic effect, which can lead to differences from the original text. However, both versions can be enjoyable and valuable in their own ways, and it can be interesting to compare the two and see how they differ.

Use the poem to answer the question.
I sit and stare out my window
Watching the rain pour down
Wishing I could escape below
And ride my bike into town.
Shadows crawl up my wall;
It feels like the whole day is gone.
I’ll sit and watch the nighttime fall
And just sleep away until dawn.

Use the two passages to answer the question.
Have you ever seen a sea turtle, whale, shark, or dolphin? Even if you have only seen pictures online, you can see how cute all of these creatures are. Well, they are in danger. So many of them are killed every year because of plastic waste. From people throwing away single-use water bottles to companies using a ton of plastic to make their products, we can all do better. Scientists are finding creatures like fish and sea birds with their stomachs filled with indigestible plastic. We have to change this, starting today!
Oceans cover 71 percent of Earth’s surface, and they are where most of Earth’s water comes from. Because of this, they are one of our greatest natural resources. Unfortunately, around 8 million metric tons of plastic enters our oceans each year. We all need to do more to save our oceans from this type of pollution. Fortunately, there are groups like the Ocean Conservancy, Oceana, and the Lonely Whale Foundation. They are all dedicated to helping this issue.
A student is researching the impact of plastic waste. Write a paragraph that compares and contrasts the two passages. Explain which passage would be better for the student to use and why.

A student is researching the impact of plastic waste. Write a paragraph that compares and contrasts the two passages. Explain which passage would be better for the student to use and why.
Both passages discuss the issue of plastic waste and the impact it has on marine animals. The first passage appeals to the reader's emotions by describing the creatures that are in danger from plastic waste and pleading for action to be taken. The second passage provides more factual information about the amount of plastic waste in oceans and mentions specific organizations working to address the issue.
For the student's research, the second passage would be more helpful as it provides specific data and mentions organizations dedicated to addressing the issue. However, the first passage could also be useful to include as a way to emphasize the importance of the issue and appeal to readers' emotions. Overall, both passages could be used in conjunction to provide a well-rounded perspective on the impact of plastic waste.

Write a 3-5 sentence paragraph comparing and contrasting the text and film versions of a book, story, play or poem. Describe the main similarities and differences you noticed between the film and text versions.
There are both similarities and differences between text and film adaptations of a story. One similarity is that both versions aim to convey the plot, characters, and themes of the story. However, the film version may take creative liberties and make changes to the story for dramatic effect, while the text version may provide more detail and exposition. Additionally, the film version relies more on visual and auditory elements to engage the audience, while the text version allows the reader to use their imagination. Overall, while each version has its own strengths and weaknesses, both can provide an enjoyable and valuable experience for the audience.
