Tuesday 4/14 .. 37 days remaining

OBJ - Students will create a personal connection to a central theme in the story Frankenstein through various activities and discussion.





CWoD - MARTYR



TODAY ...you will sign up (on the front board) for a chapter from the novel. Once you have selected your chapter, you will create a comic strip portraying the most important elements of your chapter. You will create 6 frames(slides) that should provide setting, characters, dialogue, and narration. You should also have a "title" slide that shows your name, chapter, and an original name for your chapter that cleverly foreshadows the events. That's 7 slides total - you should copy and paste art from the Internet. You must include text from the novel as well.


Use Google Slides for your work - if you are artistically inclined and want to draw it, you can do that as well, take pics of it, and upload them to use instead.

Obviously the "art" you choose will not match up from one chapter to the next - so you'll also want to be clear which character is which if it isn't implicit from your content.  And, yes, it will look kind of "patchwork" when we are finished ... like a hodge podge of images cut from magazines to recreate the storytelling and narration.  The most important aspect of this is what you choose to include in your six panels to tell your part of the story.  Be creative, but be discerning with the information you include.

We will work on this today and Thursday - we will also compile the entire novel into one shared resource on Thursday. That will serve as the review for the Frankenstein exam on Friday. 

Narration in your comic might look like ... 

Dialogue/Conversation might look like ...
