Project Work

Today we will continue working on our final projects for our Graphic Novel unit.  I will give you time in the lab to work, and will be having a meeting with each project group to see where we stand so far.

Project A: You should have completed your interview and interview notes by now.  In the lab, either finish up your Prologue about who you are interviewing, or begin working on your script.

Project B: You should have all of your sources and your notes on them by now.  In the lab, begin planning out which genres to write and begin writing them.

In our meetings, I will be checking in with each and every one of you on where you stand so far in the project and we will be setting deadline goals for where I expect you to be in the next few days.  The projects are due Monday, March 9th by the end of class.

Pixton

Toward the end of class, I will give you an opportunity to play around with the Pixton website.  Those of you who are doing Project A will need to know how to use it for your graphic novel panels, unless you will be drawing them yourself.  Those of you doing Project B also have the choice to create a comic as one of your genres.  You have the opportunity to practice using the website at the end of class.  You also may continue with other project work if you feel that it's a better way to use your time.
