Good morning,
Today, we learned about panels, gutters and balloons.
Your homework for tonight:
Option one:
1. What is a gutter?
2. What is a balloon?
Option two:
In a well-developed paragraph, answer the following question.
How do graphic novels create meaning differently than traditional literature? (
Maus and
Night both tell a survivor's story - but how does the medium create meaning in a different way? )
Excerpt from Night by Elie Weisel:
The next morning, we walked toward the station, where a
convoy of cattle cars was waiting. The Hungarian police made us
climb into the cars, eighty persons in each one. They handed us
some bread, a few pails of water. They checked the bars on the
windows to make sure they would not come loose. The cars were
sealed. One person was placed in charge of every car: if someone
managed to escape, that person would be shot.
Two Gestapo officers strolled down the length of the platform.
They were all smiles; all things considered, it had gone very
smoothly.
A prolonged whistle pierced the air.
See you tomorrow,
Ms. Betsy
