Activity Overview
Teachers can further students' investigation of The Breadwinner and life in Afghanistan under Taliban rule by showing the movie adaptation of the book that was released in 2017. As with most adaptations, there are many differences and similarities between the book and the movie. Students will complete the Venn Diagram to compare and contrast the movie and the book and use these worksheets as a jumping off point for a deeper class discussion. Teachers can use this worksheet online digitally or printed out on a day when students may not have access to their computers. It's completely customizable as well, so teachers can add as little or as much guidance as they would like. Teachers may also choose to use a T Chart template in the Storyboard Creator if they want students to focus on either similarities or differences.
