Assignment 1
Create a four panel comic strip for the two scenes you were assigned. (See Mr. Cook for assigned scenes.)
Each panel must include a clear, informative drawing and a clear, informative written summary. (Most students create two panels for each scene; some students create one panel for one of the scenes and three for the other.)
You may refer to the scene summaries provided in the book for guidance, but you will get no credit for the assignment if you copy from the book. (The book's summaries are pretty poor, so you will have to add to them.)
The purpose of this assignment is to help us review what we have learned. This is a classwork/homework assignment not a final project. Do your best work in about 45 minutes.
