Description
High school literary terms can sometimes bore our kids, let's be honest. We might LOVE them as teachers, but sometimes it's a challenge to keep those teenagers paying attention, engaged, and off of their phones!
Looking for a fun, new engaging way to teach those high school literary terms?! Here's your answer! :)
This high school literary terms resource has students compare and contrast a text to a movie using high school literary terms!!
Could also be adapted easily for use in a middle school classroom!
It is a great way to make showing a movie meaningful, educational and Common Core aligned as it:
- teaches
- reviews
- and allows for independent practice with high school literary terms!
It can be used to compare ANY NOVEL with the movie compliment or another movie that has a similar theme, time period, cultural background, lesson, tone, etc. for a book vs movie comparison, while practicing literary terms for high school at the same time.
This High School Literary Terms resource includes:
⭐️ Detailed teacher guide

Use this High School Literary Terms Book vs Movie Comparison product in whatever way is most meaningful for you and your students. However, here are my BEST TIPS:
- Teach the high school literary terms first (use the graphic organizer provided to help if you want!) and also use texts to help students understand and see them in context.
- Choose a movie that relates to a text that has been taught – the movie does not necessarily have to be a version of the text, but could be something with a similar theme, time period, cultural background, lesson, tone, etc. that can be used for a book versus movie comparison.
- Use this activity as a fun and engaging review lesson!
- Students can work at their own pace through each of the high school literary terms movie activities or you could pause along the way to discuss and fill in together.
- The perfect end of trimester activity or days before a school break fun activity!
