Good Tuesday to you all!
I am sorry that I can't be there with you today. I know you all are very broken up about it too. :)
As discussed yesterday, you have several things to complete today.
- To begin: Please finish reading "The Raven" and answer the questions that were assigned to yesterday during class. (See yesterday's blog post for those--one set of answers per group). Turn these in to your class tray when you are finished, or share them with me if you did it on a Google Doc.
- Next step: I talked a little bit about this yesterday, but today we will be creating class comics of "The Raven" . Each of you has been assigned one stanza of the poem (Mr. Wells will let you know what stanza you are). Based on your stanza, you are to create a comic book cell of just your stanza.
- Each comic cell should include:
- The number of the stanza
- One or more images that represent what is going on in your stanza
- Important quote(s) (at least one) from the stanza that represents the main idea
- Color
- Detailed drawings; no printed images from the internet. This should be done by hand. If you're going the stick figure route, I want to see unbelievable stick people!
- All images must be appropriate and related to your stanza--this is graded!
- These should be the size of a regular sheet of paper: there are materials on the side table for you to use. Please put them away neatly when you are finished.
- Once you have completed your image, please tape it in numeric order in the designated area of the room (1st and 4th are on the front dry erase board, 6th is on the back wall). As you tape them up in order, the comic will come together as a whole. It's going to be so RADICAL!! This is due before you leave today!
- With the remaining time: Get to know your free reading book....READ some pages! Then, answer the question that is posted on the Reading Workshop Blog. This will be due on Thursday!
