Pre-draft for assignment 3
• What did you learn in class on Monday that impacted how you approach reading comic and or understanding ms marvel? Did it impact your choice of format for this assignment?
On Monday in class I learned how difficult or I should say challenge it is to make a comic book. There is a lot of thought and many details that you need to focus on. I found it to be so interesting when we were able to make our own mini comic. You either start with an image in your head that you grow from. Or you begin with a story and you just imagine what the character will look like. In class I started with the image first which became a doctor who was a dad and had his daughter in his hospital hurt from something that she had broken. This at first was funny that my character became what it became. Mz marvel is a really good comic I love everything about it I am really enjoying it. I have never opened a comic book before in my life. I am glad this one was the first I could have opened. I’m looking forward to finishing this assignment strong. I’m thinking of maybe making a drawing for my assignment.
• What format are you thinking of using?
I’m thinking of maybe using the format of a drawing to show the emotion of the scene that I want to use for my project.
• What unique about thus format that will allow you to learn more about the comic than what is expressed on the surface?
Well the only thing you see on the surface is basically the drawings and the text. But something you should pay close attention to is the facial expressions and the surroundings that the characters have around them. That’s what makes the scene more interesting.
• What questions or concerns or excitements do you have about creating a project in this format?
I’m very excited to see what I come up with but I am also very concerned on how I will be able to portray this drawing to explain what I’m trying to say. I want to make sure my audience understands what I’m trying to say.
• What is ms marvel teaching you about writing so far?
Mz marvel is teaching me that you need to be very precise and clear on what you are trying to say in your text. And to make sure that your text matches the images on what’s going on. Make sure your characters show the emotion in their face when you are writing the text. Paying attention to detail is also very important. Ill make sure to focus on my text and when I draw to keep that in mind.

  1. Nathalie,

    I’m so excited that Ms. Marvel has been a good first comic for you — it really is an awesome one! As for making sure your comic is understandable to your audience, that’s what drafts and peer reviews are for! I’m sure your classmates will be super helpful, and I’ll try to be as well. In your original drafting process, though, make sure you’re actively thinking about what types of things — what words, what specific images, what commentary — helped you understand Ms. Marvel, and think about how you can deploy these rhetorical strategies in your own project, you know? Let me know if you have questions along the way: I’m totally stoked to see what you come up with!
