The Iliad Graphic Novel Assignment
ReplyDeleteIn groups of two, you and your partner will create a page of the graphic novel version of Homer’s classic tale of war and woe, the Iliad.
Each group will be assigned one book. You will read your “book”—they are roughly 600-800 lines long. These books are translated from Homer’s original, and thus they are not summaries. You will need to read, summarize, choose important lines from the book, and then choose the SIX-EIGHT (or ten if you just can’t narrow it down!) most important segments of the book to present to the class in GRAPHIC NOVEL FORMAT. This doesn’t mean just draw—it means make it interesting, too!
Next, you will draw each segment, write a caption, and use dialogue bubbles to tell the story. Include text from the actual Iliad! Also, this is your chance to liven it up a bit, too! Add some witty repartee between characters—use some creative license!
Once we present these, we will have the entire tale of the Iliad in graphic novel form! (And how cool is that?!)
To sum up:
1. Get a partner.
2. Read your book—separately or together. Actually READ it—do NOT simply use sparknotes.
3. Discuss and summarize.
4. Choose 6-8 most important parts/events and pick lines.
5. The first square needs to include title, author, chapter, and group member names.
6. DRAW your most important parts (in color on an 11 x 17 white paper).
7. Each part needs to include a caption and at least one dialogue bubble (this can be inner monologue) and some text from the Iliad.
8. Present to the class. (When you present, you don’t have to read everything word for word…)
