'The Story of Orpheus and Eurydice' by Groups 1 and 9

Output Introduction:

Grade 11-Vygotsky’s groups are tasked by their teacher in 21st Century Literature, Mr. Roseo T. Caburian, Jr., to choose a literary piece, may it be a song, movie, short story, or a poem, whichever they want. Then, they have to adapt that piece into another form in which its actual message or plot, despite the difference in presentation, will still be understandable by the readers/viewers/listeners.

Along with Mr. Caburian on this integration activity are Mrs. Jessica Ngeteg of Oral Communication and Mr. Randy Palabay of Practical Research.

Below is Groups 1 and 9’s output which is chosen to be included in this particular section of this website:

Groups 1 and 9's Introduction:

Groups 1 and 9 collaborated to make this adaptation video. This time, we adapted the Story of Orpheus and Eurydice into a visual poem. The said story is from Greece. The authors of this story are Daniel Morden and Hugh Lopten. In Greek mythology, Orpheus is known as a great singer, poet, and prophet. He was so good that he could charm all living things with his music, and also, oddly, stones. However, it all gets sad when it comes to his wife, Eurydice, who Orpheus loved very much. Sadly, one day through some high grass, a serpent bit her on the ankle, and she died. Her soul descended immediately into the underworld. In his sadness, Orpheus composed such mournful melodies that made all the animals and gods weep. When he reached the palace of Hades and Persephone, He asked Hades if his wife could be brought back to the world of the living. Hades did not agree at first, but her wife persephone to convince him into doing so because she was also touched by Orpheus’ music. Hades then agreed, but in one condition: Orpheus must not look back because if he does, Eurydice will disappear. As Orpheus goes back to the land of the living, Eurydice followed him like a shadow. But sadly, Orpheus did not manage to control himself. He looked back and Eurydice disappeared like a shadow.
