AND WELCOME BACKToday we will get back into the mode of reading. I am going to ask that you all choose one graphic novel to read over the course of this next week. We will be reading the novels not only for enjoyment but also as writers. We will pay attention to lay out, figures, text and storytelling. You will be expected to read the whole novel you have chosen this week.
We will go to the library to choose a book today.
HW: Read 15 minutes tonight. When you are done reading, write for about 5 minutes about how you read this novel. Literally--how did you make sense of the pages? What did your eyes focus on and how did your brain make sense of that? What direction did you read? Was it always the same? Did you read pictures first or text first? You will turn this piece of writing in as you enter class tomorrow.
