Title
Enduring Love

This resource gets students to think creatively about which genre Enduring Love fits – or not! It asks students to consider a number of popular films and genre expectations before evaluating the genre of the novel.

There are four tasks included: considering other films' genres, sorting genre expectations into the three applicable genres (detective stories, psychological thrillers, romance), listing features of the text which fit each of the three and finally looking at existing marketing material to inform writing a pitch for the film version of the book.

These flexible activities are appropriate following a reading of the whole text.
