My Facebook friends will remember that, a month ago, when I was teaching Greek mythology, I asked a student which god or goddess she wanted to do her character poster on and Haley responded, “Hepatitis.”
I said, “Hephaestus?”
She said, “Yeah, OK.”
After the character poster, I required that each student choose a myth and create a comic or graphic novel (minimum eight panels). I told them that I was less concerned with their artistic ability and more interested in whether they could break the story down into its elements, which we had studied earlier in the year: exposition, conflict, rising action, climax, falling action, solution.
Here’s Maryah’s:
There are more where that came from.
That is the best thing I’ve ever read.
And kind of hot.
I’m a little concerned about Maryah… I feel like I’ve seen this movie but I’m pretty sure I was over 18 at the time. ;)
more, more!
So, will these modern interps be on Qwikster or Netflix?
That’s a very good question, Granddude. I’ve been seeing news all day from a bunch of sources about how terrible an idea the split is. Do you think Netflix, you know, talked it over before announcing?
Love it!
