Course Recap for March 20

Gaiman's The Wolves in the Walls and Panaou & Michaelides' "Dave McKean's Art: Transcending Limitations of the Graphic Novel Genre"
Today at the beginning of class, you took a short quiz over Panaou & Michaelides' article. I then asked you to do a bit of writing to prepare for class discussion. I projected this week's bloggers' discussion questions and asked you to work with a partner to choose a question and a page from Gaiman's text to respond to in your writing. Each pair was asked to jot down some notes in response to their set of questions and then to examine both text and image in a page from Gaiman's text. We then came together as a group for discussion.
At the end of class, I handed out a final paper practice question and comparison chart. Think about this as a sample question for part two of your final paper. You might use this document as something to help you outline your writing for your final paper. You can access that document HERE.
