Supplies: pen or pencil, journal/paper, your comic script, white paper and art supplies
Daily Objective: to practice writing scripts using comics as an example
Bell-ringer: Today is Earth Day! Write about nature or the environment.
- Illustrate one page of your comic. You will be graded on effort and care, completeness, grammar and spelling, color, and composition/use of key features. This is due Friday 4/21.
- View the rubric here: Graphic Novel Illustration.
- Writing your Comic Script: Using the first example in the Key Features packet, write a script that would translate to 3-5 illustrated comic pages. Be descriptive enough of your panels that someone else would be able to draw it. This is was due last Friday.
- Homework: find a graphic novel to read in class. You can get one from one of your teachers, the media center, or the public library. Or if you already have one, bring it in. We will be using these later this week.
- Read your chosen comic and write a short analysis (half page to a page) of its characters, plot, and themes.
- Analyze your comic’s key features. Describe each in a sentence like we did with “The Veil.”
- Choose an element of your chosen comic to emulate in the comic you will write. Describe how the element is used in the published comic and how you used it in your own. Write five sentences or more.
- This was due 4/14; it is past due.
