Student instructions

Introduction

This assessment activity requires you to create a controlled visual text focused on ideas that interest you from the novel you have studied in class this year.

The audience for your work will be your class and teacher.

You will present your work as a page from a graphic novel.

You will be assessed on how well you:

·        develop, sustain, and structure ideas

·        use verbal and visual features appropriate to audience and purpose

·        craft a controlled visual text.

Once a pencil copy is completed in class you may take this home to make a good copy, allowing you to have more time to colour and ink your graphic novel, as well as using design software if you like. Your teacher will specify the final due date.
