Lesson
4 Creative Adaptation
of a Literary Text
It can be said that people in today‟s generation have earned almost limitless
access in global communication, thanks to technology advancement and freedom of
expression. We are able to express our rights and opinions whether in politics,
entertainment or business industry. We use literary works, film adaptations, online
posts or other effective means to represent what we believe in and to send our
message across. Over time, we learned that communication definition is not only
limited to verbal and written but to all forms that best signify expression.
Innovation indeed has gotten us this far.
What’s New
EXPECTATION REALITY
1. You were able to perform well in a
subject you found quite difficult because
you practiced enough. With that, you
received high grade and got your
confidence back.
2. On Valentine‟s Day, your friend or a
stranger came to you and gave you
flowers and chocolates in surprise. You
felt special all day long.
What is It
“We become the best version of ourselves when we learn to listen to what we
have to hear.” This is what people conclude when nothing seem to work after
countless trials and unable to reach wise decisions. We begin to ponder deeply,
open our mind to things we never once considered hearing and realize that some of
them actually make sense. We finally give in to learning even from negative
feedbacks or nasty situations. We make certain adjustments and do tasks more
accurately. We embrace both positive and negative and mold ourselves along the
way. This is the lesson we wish you have reflected on the first activity. Expectation
vs reality concept tells us that we have mentally built-in criteria to immediately
make judgment or assessment. This standard helps us identify what is good and
bad, desirable or undesirable. People use this ability to make good judgments and
produce what humanity has so far created.
3. Biographical criticism. From the term itself, this method of analysis aims to
determine the original theme of a certain piece from the author‟s life. This requires
the reader to be familiar with the author‟s biographical information. By doing so,
the reader can keep track of his analysis to be in context.
5. Formalist criticism. A type of criticism that analyzes the work itself, and does
not claim any underlying political, sociological or psychological concerns exist in
the context.
Examples of adaptation are films, stage play, and podcast which require the
use of multimedia, technology and other creative innovations. In education,
teachers use these creative adaptations to stimulate students‟ interest and promote
effective learning.
You may tend to assess an adaptation through its storyline and the
characters‟ portrayal. Or that you based the production on its magnificent props
and characters‟ portrayal. Others also tend to judge the quality of adaptation on
whether it has highlighted the general idea from the original work or made some
changes or unexpected turn of events. From this, we learn that every one of us has
followed a certain criterion of our own.
One helpful way to assess creative adaptation of a literary text and limits
discourse over the subject is by choosing one out of the following theoretical
approaches:
Translation theory. Evaluates the faithfulness of adaptation to the original
piece. The criticism revolves around the adaptation‟s adherence to the
character, setting, themes and any other highlights that make up the literary
text. Users of this paradigm would admire such producers who stick to the
context.
Pluralist theory. Focuses on the effectivity of the adaptation to convey the
„spirit‟ of the original text. The advocates of this theory put much
significance to the retention of what the text makes them feel and therefore
should be preserved without the need of modification in the mood and tone.
Transformation theory. A theory that sees a written work and its adaptation
different. The producer of the adaptation has made significant alteration
whether for artistic, uniqueness or experimental purposes. The differences
made will serve as the basis for evaluation.
Alternatively, Aristotelian theory, also known as neo-classical or neo-
Aristotelian, does not put emphasis on the fidelity or sameness of adaptation to the
original text. It rather focuses on the relationship between the adaptation and its
audience, using the subject, purpose and context as basis for evaluation. This
theory is the one used when giving assessment prior to presentation or production.
Considering these approaches, you will be able to make your assessment right
into the core. You will state your opinion or judgment and rationalize it using the
presentation itself.
Here are some guidelines to help you write a coherent and logical assessment.
1. Read, watch or listen to the work with full attention into details. Repeat if
necessary or possible. The initial step is where you all get the impression and
confirm its strengths and weaknesses. Take note of important details.
2. State your judgments. Present your general judgments that you made from
observation and interpretation.
3. Explain your criteria to support your judgment. Remember to use the scenes
in the presentation as evidences. Use the criteria or standards that you set to
support your judgment.
4. Compare and contrast. Use other excellent adaptation or presentation of the
same genre to offer suggestions.
Aside from writing assessment, you can also create your rubric perfect for
evaluating presentations. Rubric is a scoring guide used to evaluate a performance.
It has three parts namely: performance criteria, rating scale and indicators.
You can use either of the assessment especially in class presentations. Say,
you have made random reflection after your performance--that is an assessment.
Or your teacher provided you criteria or asked you to make a quick verbal
evaluation in your peer‟s work is also an example of assessment. Any output could
be improved if you will be constantly involved in the assessment process. Giving
short feedback, writing a review, being the judge for a class competition are good
opportunities to develop your judgment skills.
Self and peer assessment aim to increase your sense of autonomy and
responsibility. It hones your creative and higher order thinking skills. It will help
you become more active as an assessor rather than passively wait on your teacher
for evaluation. Most importantly, it will develop your reflection on your own
execution and judgment.
Take a close look at the advantages and disadvantages of self and peer assessment.
Peer assessment. Students individually assess one another based on their level of
contribution or participation in the group. The average of the marks given by each
member is usually the overall group score.

What’s More
In the provided activity below, you are not going to make a new version of a
story but will just make a reflection as another form of adaptation. Let us find out if
you can picture out yourself from literary pieces as a form of assessment.

What I Can Do
Every one of us has our favorite film that we never thought is originally
based on a literary text, such as novel or diary. Let us take Harry Potter series for
an instance. It was written by Joanne Rowling in 1990 while sitting on a delayed
train from Manchester London King‟s Cross, not expecting that it would become a
big hit after being rejected by a dozen of publishers. Its instant success even
became intense for over a decade, thanks largely to film adaptations made by
screenplay writers under Warner Bros. Pictures.
(Note: You may search for the summary of the novel instead of reading the whole
original text.)
Howl ’s Movi ng Castl e is a 2004 Japanese animation written and directed by Hayao
Miyazaki. This film is a creative adaptation of the 1986 novel of the same name written
by the British author Diana Wynne Jones.
