Graphic Novels!

Today we began talking about the genre of graphic novels. Then, groups spent time sharing thesis statements.

If you were absent, please get the Comic Book Primer(white packet) and a copy of the final graphic assessment (green sheet) from the side table in the classroom. See a classmate for information about graphic novels and the requirements of the unit.

Homework: Work on acquiring a choice graphic novel (don't forget about the public library--it is not necessary to purchase one!); Work on thesis statement--move to outlining.

Tomorrow you will begin reading Persepolis in class.

Recommended and Required due dates for the choice essay:

¨Recommended Outline – Friday, May 22
¨Recommended Rough Draft – Tuesday, May 26
¨REQUIRED PEER REVIEW – Thursday, May 28
*The peer review is worth 10 points
*NO EXCEPTIONS
