so tracing the evolution of the story through different formats and time periods would be perfect background for that.
Woo-hoo! You can even incorporate "current" history with or without the newest version, simply by having them reflect on what changes they'd expect to see in a movie made of it today. Depends on if you want to suffer through the Tom Cruise version. ;)
I think my big honking binder is at school, but I'll poke through it and see if I have anything I can send you. Seems like I cobbled a bunch of it together from stuff I found on the web, some teaching materials specifically over the book, and crap I just made up. :) Which really, is what I always do... I do remember one really good site that focused on the hysteria when the radio play was broadcast, and whether it was really as widespread and crazy as the media made it sound. I'll see what I can find.
I'm going to do basically the same thing, but have it be about an SF movie or show. Sites with fanfic will be encouraged. :D)
