Graphic Novel Project Rubric

Mini Graphic Novel Project

Directions: You will read a graphic novel of your choice, but it must be approved by me.  There will be several steps which will be graded along the way, and in the end you will put it together as one big project for a summative grade.

1. Read your novel.  This will take some time, and that’s okay.

2. Write a one page summary of your book explaining the beginning, middle, and end.

4. Story board: You will make a story board of 8 boxes.  Each box should represent important parts of the novel.

5. Design a graphic novel character based on you. I want to see you as a cartoon character or anime character. If you know someone who draws anime or regular, you might want to have them draw you, but you must color and accessorize you. I want to see you in the picture.  Write a half page auto-biography about yourself.
