For this unit Refers to Student’s Book pages Writing headlines

Discuss with the class whether students have ever tried to write a screenplay, 
or would like to in the future. Ask about the difference between an adapted 
screenplay, i.e. one based on an existing book or story, and an original screenplay. 
Which would be more difficult or enjoyable to write? Ask whether any students 
have seen the film 
Adaptation
. Avoid discussing the plot at this stage, as this will 
undermine some of the later exercises.
