For Writers Workshop

We have a little more than week to complete our comic projects. The concept is simple: create a comic with a very clear purpose. It might be didactic. It might be critical. It might be self-reflective. It should have a specific audience. Whether you are an artist or a writer, bring in at least one page of material to work with. We'll use these to plan during our next class.

Also, bring in your completed revisions of the timed writing exercise.

For Monday

Be sure to continue your reading of your graphic novels. Given that the content is often easier with the pictures, I'd like you to read 50-60 pages of your graphic novel. This may mean you have either finished or will finish; as such, pick out a new work of graphic non-fiction to read.

In addition, try incorporating some of the bigger questions about perception, icons, etc. that McCloud plants. 

For Wednesday

Be sure to bring in your revisions of the Question 2 response from our final exam. Remember use a transitional phrase between each paragraph.
