NOTE: Do not put actual documented quotations from your research paper into your sequel.

Unlike the other two project options, the Graphic Fiction Project has you using your comic book in the research paper rather than the other way around. Yes, it's odd, but it's fun to imagine your comic book actually exists and had an influence on (future) history :)

the Final Project

The Final Project will be the comic book itself. This is also worth up to 100 points.

This is the creative bit, and it has some variables, but first, let me stress one more time a very important distinction: You are NOT writing a comic book version of Mandel's novel Station Eleven. The title of her novel comes from the title of two issues of a comic book that show up several times IN the novel. You are going to write part of one of those comic books, featuring the character Dr. Eleven, mentioned IN the novel.

As I noted on the Graphic Fiction Project page, you should have taken note of all the references to those comic books as they show up in the novel. A few of the panels (images) are described; a little bit of the script is quoted, so you have some clues and starting points for your own version of one of the comics. You are not required to use any of that, but feel free to use some of those lines and images described in the novel; if you do you will still have to expand on them to make part of the comic book come to life. Your Final Project will be about eight pages (so it does not have to be the entire comic book).

At the very least you must do the script (the descriptive bits, the dialogue that usually shows up in word balloons above the characters' heads). There is a specific way for writing comic script; instructions are on this site: How to Write Comic Book Script. This does not need to be the entire book; you should have about eight pages, though.

If you are just doing the script (the words), then follow that format (not MLA) and submit the final comic script via e-mail as an attached (.doc, .docx, .pdf or .rtf) file.

But it might be a whole lot more fun if you did both words and pictures, in the form of an actual comic book. Even if you don't see yourself as especially artistic, consider copying/pasting images you find on the Web for your illustrations. Or if you want to actually draw, paint, whatever, you can create the panels, put on the illustrations, add the text just like a real comic book. NEAT :)

If you do both words and picture, you could scan the pages and submit those as e-mail attachments, but also consider putting the pages on PowerPoint and submitting the PowerPoint file (attached to an e-mail); if you are comfortable with Prezi, you could use that format, or (if you are Web-savvy) you could put the pages on a website (such as a free blogsite such as WordPress or maybe a SimpleSite or Weebly page) and e-mail me the URL (http address) to the site where I can look at it.

you are not alone
