8th Grade Language Arts: Short Stories and Graphic Novels

Eighth graders created their own original characters this week.  In addition to illustrating what the character looks like they also had to develop a personality, background, and description for their character.  Students presented their character creations and have the option to use their character for the Graphic Novel Writing Project.  This week students will learn all of the aspects that go into creating a graphic novel.  They will starting planning and drafting their own creative graphic novels using both pictures and text.
