Pre draft assignment for #3

Today in class I learned that comic books can open a reader’s mind to new ways of storytelling. The images in comic books connect with the words that are bolded and show hidden messages. It can engage readers to learn how to read visually and comic books can be helpful for readers who are comfortable reading visually. Also, I noticed that half the people in my class are going to draw out scenes in the comic. This made me noticed that comic books can increase imagination by using a combination of text and images in the comic books in order to tell your story. I’m interested in either making a poster or a video about Kamala Khan and her ways of transitioning to be Ms. Marvel. By doing either project, will help me focus on the bolded text that any of the characters are saying or Kamala own thoughts. Also, if I do create a video about Ms. Marvel I can talk more about the character transition and the viewer can see the expression and physical movement (hands) talking about Ms. Marvel. As I was reading Ms. Marvel I like how Kamala Khan is the first Muslim hero in her own series. Since Kamala is a teenager, I can relate to her wanting to fit in with her classmates or a certain group and not having much confidence in herself when it comes to seeing someone who is better than you. It taught me how to be confident, be that butt kicking girl and just be comfortable with who you are, and don’t be someone else just so you feel like you belong in that certain group. I am super excited for making this project! This is going to be my second time making a video as an assignment for my class so I am definitely looking forward making a video on Ms. Marvel!!

  1. Maria,

    This is so exciting! I love that you’re loving Ms. Marvel and that you’re thinking deeply about the artists’ choices to make certain words bold and what that does to transform the story. I can’t wait to see what kinds of insight you bring to that kind of close, close reading, and through a video? Awesome! I can’t wait to see how this turns out!
