Comic Book Reports

Comic Book Report Instructions:

Select a book from a narrative genre that you have not read about from the Reading Wheel  by September 18th.  Then, create cartoons on the ComicBook App using the following guidelines:

1:  Create a series of at least six drawings or photos in six squares that shows the most significant events in the novel.

2:  You may draw pictures to put into ComicBook, or take photos with the camera.  (Just be sure that you use costumes/props to depict the setting if you use photos!) Look at last year’s reports as examples below.  How can you take yours to the next level?

3:  When you are done, please share the Comic with both Ms. Jezabel and Ms. Hodges on the Google Drive by putting it in the shared folder, “Final Comic Book Reports.”

4:  Be ready to present your book comic to the class, explaining exactly why you selected each image.  (In other words, be ready to introduce the characters and setting, and to summarize the book’s important events in the beginning, middle, and end!)

5: When you are done presenting your Comic, you will post it to your ePortfolio and write a reflection.

BOOK REPORTS ARE DUE MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 28th!

HAPPY READING! :)
