Task 8: Audience Response
If students have completed previous tasks in this sequence, they will have engaged with Paul Jennings’ characters in both written text and on screen.
As a class or in small groups, discuss students’ responses to these different text types as audience members. Do they prefer written or screen stories, and why? After discussing Round the Twist, students could discuss additional text-to-screen adaptations more generally. This could include how adaptations cater to different audience expectations and demographics.
