I was really impressed by all the ways you guys came up with to illuminate your poetry. How are the projects coming? If you are having trouble figuring out a passage or how you could represent a part of the poem, post a comment here and we can discuss it.
Remember, the rough drafts are due on Tuesday 25th. It is a check of your progress on the project and a chance to ask any last-minute questions.
This week we will be watching About a Boy on Monday and part of Tuesday. After we finish the movie, we will discuss the projects. Your illuminated poetry is due on Wednesday, and we will begin presentations then.
Your presentation should include the title, author, and any background information, any relevant history of the poem or piece, and an explanation of your work. We will conclude with questions from the class.
I hope everything is going well, but if you do have a concern, please email me.
See you tomorrow.

If I'm making a comic strip, how big should it be?

I was hoping someone would do a comic. It should be 6-8 panels, depending on how you want to portray the poem/work. If you re-tell the story, make a panel for each part. If you are focusing on one aspect, create as many as necessary to make your point.
Good luck!

The background you provide should be anything necessary for our understanding of your project. For example, if you were doing "Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night" and drew a picture of Thomas speaking over the grave of his father, it would be good to know that the death of the authors father was especially hard on him.
