With your Hogwarts House buddies, choose one character, moment, place, or item from the world of Harry Potter and examine closely how the original root text (the novel) presents this and asks us to “know” or “understand” this term. What specific literacies do we need in order to gain knowledge through the novel? Now examine the specific literacies we need in order to understand it through the translatio text of the film. Build a mini blog post and add it to ONE GROUP MEMBER’S site to share with the class. Use the previous course readings to decide exactly what types of literacies are in play. And make sure to really think about how the changes between novel and film, print and digital, invite different ways of reading this cultural text! 500-1000 words ish. 😀
