By Phase By Day Calendar
Launch
Students will enter the course through a high-interest adaptation challenge, build a shared vocabulary for literary and film analysis, begin tracking evidence and source credibility, and set norms for collaborative argument. By the end of the phase, they will have tested early claims about what survives when stories are remade, produced a first analytical artifact, and completed a graded readiness checkpoint that prepares them for stronger position-taking in the next phase.

Choose the Claim
Students will take an early, defensible position on whether remaking a story or self must preserve an essential core or can replace it without meaningful loss. They will analyze short Frankenstein text and film moments, test competing interpretations, evaluate the quality of early evidence, and develop a tentative thesis with evidence leads, counterpoints, and a short spoken opening statement.

Gather Evidence
Students will collect, test, and organize literary, cinematic, and contextual evidence for an adaptation argument by researching across source types, evaluating credibility, identifying support and challenge, and revising an evidence map that prepares them to build a defensible claim in the next phase.

Build Argument Draft
Students will turn their research and comparative analysis into a defensible adaptation argument by drafting claims, subclaims, warrants, counterarguments, and rebuttals; attaching textual, cinematic, and contextual evidence; and building an early visual plan for the symposium and trailer-style synthesis. Through structured modeling, peer critique, revision, and a milestone conference, they will prepare a visible draft artifact that is ready for deeper revision in the next phase.
