WORKSHOP: YOU CAN DO A GRAPHIC NOVEL

Barbara Slate, author of the acclaimed book, You Can Do a Graphic Novel, believes that everybody can do a graphic novel. It may not sell a million copies, but everybody can write a story and draw. The students create a character bible (name, age, biggest fear, goal in life, etc.) and start laying out panels using stick figures. Those who are advanced will get a critique of their work and be able to take their graphic novel to the next level. Whether it's a one day program, once a week for 4 weeks, or a semester, your students will be inspired!
