Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson

 

       Fifth graders Jess Aarons and Leslie Burke are inseparable and their friendship transports them to a magical land beyond their everyday lives in Lark Creek. Their imaginations take them to Terabithia, an imaginary kingdom in the woods where they reign as king and queen.

Despite a tragic ending, this story illustrates the true meaning of strength, courage and friendship.

           Class 5C read the book and then decided to view the 2007 movie of the same name. Our objective was to see how a single story could be told through different media. We found there were many similarities between the book and movie. There also were some great differences.

           Our Power Point presentations compare and contrast both versions of this wonderful story. Please click on the names below and enjoy the show(s)! The presentations are best viewed on a full screen.
