  13. Outcomes • 5.1 Independently access and select specific information to meet personal and learning needs – select, from a wide range, sources appropriate to their purposes • 8.2 Use note-making to reconstruct knowledge and select effective strategies appropriate to the task

  14. GRAPHIC NOVEL

  15. AN EPIC Tale Mono-Myth Unit Project • Students will create an adventure that follows the Mono-myth pattern. • It will include a hero or heroine and their hero’s journey through a special world. • Students will be assigned small projects that will be completed and handed in throughout the project. • As a final product, the students will create a graphic novel story board of their epic.

  16. Details • Students will be placed in groups of three. • The group will decide on the details of the story (hero, special world, villain) and how to illustrate the story board. • Joseph Campbell’s Mono-Myth will be the framework for the story’s details.

  17. Step 1 – The characters • Students will discuss the qualities and traits that their characters should possess. • Student will then create a hero, a villain and a mentor that will be used in their tale. • Each member of the group will hand in a character sheet for one of these three characters.

  18. Boring vs. interesting • Boring Character: Luna lives in Philadelphia. • Interesting Character: 15-year-old Luna just moved from her childhood home in California to Philadelphia. She is having a really hard time making friends at school. Her strange name and the beat-up, psychedelic-coloured van her dad drives her to school in every morning have not made it easy on her.

  19. 3 types of characters • The Protagonist (HERO) - is the character with the starring role in your book. In most novels, the protagonist is on a journey to get what he or she wants more than anything else in the world. • The Supporting Characters (MENTOR) - are characters who help the protagonist achieve his or her goal. • The Antagonist (VILLAIN) - is the character in a novel that is standing in the way of the protagonist achieving his or her goal.

  20. Step 2 – plot outline • The students will use the mono-myth template to create an outline of the plot of their story. • The outline is intensive and will guide the students with questions that will help them create their hero’s journey. • One outline will be handed in for each group.

  21. PLOT ARC

  22. P.O.V. and SETTING Each student will create a short paragraph describing a setting (a Village, a Castle, Dark Forest) from a CHARACTER’S Point Of View. The hero will see the world differently than the villain would. This is to be written in your character’s voice. (Take time to imagine how your character speaks; not just loud and in English but the words they would choose and how they build their sentences.

  23. Step 3 – layout • Students will create a layout for their graphic novel. A layout will be constructed with two parts for each panel. • Script – The words that will appear in panels. • Image – A brief explanation of the image inside the panels. • The layout should contain at least 30 panels. • Each step of the hero’s journey must be represented.

  24. LAYOUT EXAMPLE Image Description Text • Boy (in the foreground) sits at desk writing, with a girl(in the background) • little heart in between • Once, I had a crush on a girl.

  25. Step 4 – Graphic Novel • Students will use the common conventions of a graphic novel to construct a final draft of one of their scenes from their graphic novel. • The scene should be at least 10 panels. • The conventions that should be present are fonts, bubbles, transitions and perspective. (not artistic talent) • The scenes will be collected on Monday 21st

  26. Fonts Punctuation Bubbles Transitions Perspectives Conventions
