Stargirl's important chapters - how a book becomes a movie (11/6 class activity)

In class activity: Students selected the most important twenty chapters. In small groups they debated and discussed which 16 chapters were essential. As a class we continued these discussions until we decided which 16 chapters would be used to make our movie.

Our goal as a class is to narrow down Stargirl to the most important chapters, scenes, and details so that we can make a Stargirl movie. As many of our favorite novels and book series have been made into movies, it is our hope that the Stargirl movie will capture the spirit of the book, while allowing the class to retell the story in order to make it meaningful for the students.
