PART B
Now that you have a screenplay, if you adapt every single chapter from your novel into a scene in a movie, your movie will be too long. So, as the screenwriter, you have a decision to make. Which two scenes from your book are crucial and must be filmed for the movie, and which two scenes are not as important and can be left out? Now, in a written memo, you have to convince the producers of your decision.

In a 4-8 sentence paragraph, you will:

Write a topic sentence to present the main idea of your paragraph.
Describe two scenes that are crucial to the movie and why they must be filmed.
Describe two scenes that not important and explain why they can be left out.
Use complete sentences.
