Ideas

I'm going to be starting coursework for A2 English Lang/Lit as soon as I get back to school. I need to do text transformations - e.g. in a poem someone mentions her brother. You could write a diary entry from that brother (except that the he is part of the event the person was writing about - so it's like a different perspective). Or a more specific example, updating Othello to modern times.

Any ideas? I mean, particular texts, poems, novels.
