Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Lectures, seminars, readings and film screenings will be the primary mode of delivery. Initially, there will be a set of four weekly lectures which will set out the theoretical parameters of adaptation studies (LO 1, LO2). These will be accompanied by student-led small group seminars, where students are given a topic to prepare and discuss in class (LO2, LO3). After the initial set of lectures, the lecture time will move to become 'creative adaptation time', where the students can actively write in class, with a tutor on hand to discuss issues that may arise (LO2, LO3, LO4). At the same time, students will be thinking about the adaption project they wish to undertake in the module and prepare for it through tutorials (LO1, LO2, LO3, LO4). There will also be a set of readings and film screenings that may act as 'flipped classroom'.
|
Towards the beginning of the module, students will be asked to write a proposal about the adaptation they wish to conduct. They will be offered the chance to discuss this written proposal. This proposal and ensuing discussion will be a formative assessment. This formative assessment, alongside the first summative assessment (which will be an oral/aural presentation), will form the basis of the second summative assessment. Thus, the formative assessment will feed forward to the first summative assessment, which will, in turn, feed forward to the second one.

There are two summative assessments on this module. Summative Assessment 1: Worth 20% of final gradeLength: 10 minutesIn a ten-minute oral/ aural pitch, please elaborate on the adaptation exercise you wish to pursue. At the minimum, your pitch must include the following:1. A powerpoint or similar presentation2. A clear outline of the contents of the initial ‘text’ you want to adapt.3. A link to this ‘text’4. The adaptation techniques you intend to use5. The affordances of your particular medium6. Target audience7. Why is this important?8. Why now?9. Any issues (e.g., copyright) that you foresee as an advantage/ as a problemSummative Assessment 2: Worth 80% of final gradeLength: Original must be 30 pages or equivalentPlease choose an original text for adaptation. This text may not exceed 30 pages or equivalent; and you must be cognizant of copyright constraints in your choice (these constraints will be discussed in class). Please adapt it to form part of a pre-production package that your producer can use to raise finance for the project. The length of your adaptation will depend on the medium you are adapting from and the medium you are adapting to. These need to be clearly discussed with the module leader before you embark on your adaption project.
