OUR GRAPHIC NOVEL

This term we are taking part in the MONSTER PROJECT.  We are very busy constructing our monster for the project.  We are also busy learning about graphic novels and the features of them.  As a class we are making a graphic novel based on the book THERE WAS AN OLD MONSTER by Rebecca, Adrian and Ed Emberley.
We read the story first and then we split up into groups of 2 or 3 and we were given a page from the story.  We had to come up with our own drawing to go with that part of the story.  We then had to plan how we were going to add the text in .  We had to think about whether we would add word balloons, thought balloons, captions or sound effects.  We are going to create our graphic novel using COMIC LIFE.  We are then going to publish it as an ebook and put it on our school ipads for everyone to read.
Here are some pictures of us planning and working together to illustrate our part of the story.
