The second project asks you to write an interpretation of a graphic novel of your choosing. (See the assignment sheet below.) You may write about any of the texts we've read so far or (pending my approval) about a graphic novel not on our syllabus.
The first step in the process of writing your interpretation will be to compose a brief proposal, due Thursday, October 30. You'll share that document with me on Google Docs. And be sure bring your laptop to class so that you can share it with your classmates.
Your proposal should answer the following:
In the first paragraph: What is the title and who is/are the author/s of the text you've selected? Which among the larger cultural, philosophical, or historical questions raised by the text will you explore in your paper? Which specific verbal and/or visual strategies in the text will you focus your analysis on as you explore that question?
In the second paragraph: Which pages and panels will you examine as you conduct your analysis? Why these specific pieces of evidence, i.e., what makes them particularly useful for exploring the larger cultural, philosophical, or historical question you've identified in the text?
