# ReadBox Project Graphic novel/ Comic

Graphic Novel/ Comic

The focus of this Readbox Project is on creating a graphic novel or comic, based on a novel that you have read independently. In doing so, you will explore the power of images and how they can enhance a story. You will also be challenged to break down the original story (your book) into its most important events and focus on details and mood, strengthening your storytelling skills. This project will show you that stories are not only told with words - images can also be used to relate serious stories as well as funny ones. An art form like the comic, which we know best for humour and superheroes, is an effective method for all types of stories. During this project you will learn how to work with a storyboard in order to create a digital story with pictures that flow together smoothly. You will also learn how to include details that explain the action - all vital skills for written storytelling, as well. Students who know how to tell stories know how to organise and communicate their ideas in any medium. Apps like Comic Life are great for adding speech bubbles and dialogue to photos or art work. The online comic editors like ToonDoo offer a range of backgrounds, characters and props to help you tell your story.
