DISCUSSION creates a 3-thought-provoking-question comic for the purpose of group discussion.
RESEARCHER creates a comic involving outside research the student deems relevant or important. This research might be primary source information from the author. It could also be from a book review. But it can also be from informal and formal articles about topics or ideas in the book. (Please remember to give credit where credit is due.)
SKILLS HIGHLIGHTER creates a comic that explains a skill or strategy the author/artist used and some ideas on how another artist might use that skill or strategy.
RHETORICIAN creates a comic surrounding an “argument” or “question(s)” the reading elicits. The comic, in and of itself should create a kind of argument or line of questions/reflections. Connections to other world events, media, or personal experiences are highly encouraged.
REMIXER creates a comic about the lived experience of the student but in the style of a page from the book. Try to copy the style, forms, strategies, colors, etc. as close as possible, but make it your own with your own content and flair.
