Reading Sherlock Holmes

Go to http://www.mysterynet.com/holmes/more.shtml and choose a text to read (more than one is OK if you want to/have enough time). Read the text of your choice. Next, team up with a couple of friends (form groups of 3-4 people), and discuss differences and similarities between the text you've read and the Sherlock Holmes movie we've just watched. Think about things like:

• How the characters are portrayed
• How the story is told; tempo, language etc.
• How the settings are described
• The relationship between the main characters (Holmes & Watson)
• What kind of audience it's directed towards
• ...and anything else you can think of.

Make sure that someone in your groups takes notes on what you come up with, since we'll be discussing this in class later.
