Comic Book Script Project
Use the handouts to help you create your comic book script. See sample pages of a script, (see handout from last class).
A draft of the script is due Monday, May 16. It must be at least 1 page long. It may need to be more than that to develop a story line or plot for your issue. Stories have a beginning, middle, or end. Comics can be as short as 1-page gags. See handout for samples of this kind of thing.
For extra credit you may choose to illustrate 1 page of your script in Comic Life.
X-Men Synthesis: Please read the articles & review of X-Men (2000). Read or peruse the comic book draft as well. You will need these materials and your notes to write your review and analysis for X-Men.
X-Men Review/Synthesis:
Argue in a persuasive review of the film X-Men (2000) that there is societal value (or no value in society) in the film X-Men. You should use the articles from your synthesis, your notes, the comic book issue and other researched resources to persuade your reader that X-Men (the film and franchise) has societal merit (or is simply a silly fantasy that wastes our productive time...).
NOTE: You must hold a firm position (no "either/or" or "it depends"!) Use evidence to support your position. Textual and film evidence must be attributed in your article. Your introduction should review the film. It is helpful to include a good hook, a lead-in that summarizes the film quickly, and move to your position/thesis/claim. When using the film as evidence indicate actor and character, director, cinematographer, composer, writer, etc. within your body (it doesn't need to clutter up your intro).
