Eat, Pray, Love Assignment



As Eat Pray Love is an adapted film from a non-fiction novel. The novel is developed by the real-life experiences of the author Elizabeth Gilbert. In this respect, I will show my students the video clips of the author’s opinions of creating the original novel and the movie trailer. After that, I will ask my students to compare and contrast the similarities and differences between the novel and the movie. To facilitate students’ understanding, they are assigned with a writing task (appendix I) so that they have the opportunity to analyze the differences between two genres as well as allowing autonomy for them to decide their favorite version of Eat Pray Love story. The assessment of writing task (appendix II) emphasizes students’ ability to demonstrate accurate grammar, organization and thorough understanding of concepts discussed in the novel or in the movie. Through this assessment guideline, it is hoped that I would be capable of providing my student with constructive formative feedbacks that aid their writing techniques and composition of personal opinions.
