Litt11234G Introduction To The Novel Assessment Answers

For this assignment, you are also welcome to create a short comic of your own.  You must do this in a small group.  Your comic should be in either black and white or in colour.  Please consider the following for your group submission:

• Your work is a minimum of two A4 pages (at the very least) if you are working manually. Your work must be saved as a PDF so that it can upload to SLATE, and be downloaded for evaluation.  If you are using an online tool to create a comic then you should also save the result as a PDF, which, again, is a minimum of two pages. The more you give me to evaluate the greater your chances of success in this 30% assessment opportunity.
• You demonstrate concepts we learned about in McCloud. Your comic creation must use time and motion, and feature at least three different styles of transition. Consider whether you want to work in the Western or Japanese style.
• You need to tell a story with visuals. What happens in the gutter, or through bleeds or other panelling features helps as much as direct use of text or narrative boxes or text items like the ones featured in Watchmen or V for Vendetta.  Your work can tell a compelling story in strip form, like the work of Lynda Barry or Kate Beaton, or Guy DeLisle, or any other artist you can think of. As well, your work can be richly layered and complex in the style of some of the more sophisticated works we have read.
• This work is collaborative. Students who undertake this version of the assignment must collaborate effectively, and communicate with each other respectfully in the event there are problems. Students will all earn the same grade for this assessment effort

Topics for this assignment are as follows: We will use the text of the seminal young people’s book, “Oh, the Places You’ll Go!” by Dr Seuss. (See below for the text.) Your other option is to use the lyrics to a popular song. You are expected to provide the lyrics to the song, as well as a link to a video if one exists.  There are ten groups for this, so you’re expected to collaborate effectively. This also means that you must all agree on the topic for your collaborative comic.
