Comic Book Project Overview
Each student will write a major paper or create a major project for the course, such as a literary analysis of a comic book, a sociological exploration of a comic book issue, or even creating a comic book or writing a superhero story.
I want these projects to be the most interesting, cool, and fun papers/projects/creations you can dream up. In fact, I hope that these papers will be really ENJOYABLE to read. When I get done, I should be able to say, “WOW, now that was A quality work. Great idea and well developed!”
Comic Book Project Guidelines
Papers and stories should be around 10 pages long. Comic books would obviously be longer, more like a typical comic book length (around 23 pages of text and art). Other projects should be of suitable length that it is clear they involved significant work and effort.
The project should be word processed, double-spaced in a standard 12-point font, and include references following MLA or APA style.
Required work on the Comic Book Project will include:
- writing a proposal for the project
- writing draft 1
- in class review of draft 1
- writing draft 2
- conference with the instructor about draft 2
- final revision (due at the final exam date)
