Hey guys,
I regret to inform you that this week is our last week of essays that we'll be writing for a while. I have to catch myself up with the grading, and I can't keep assigning you topics, and I'm still not finished grading them. I know you can relate to the time it takes to read one from our lab days, so imagine reading 80 of them. I hope you're not terribly upset, but I had to make this tough decision.
Don't worry, we will still have lab days on Thursday's. They will be a little different in the next half of the semester, but we will still have them. Stay tunned this Thursday for a pre-view of how they will function after we come back from our 4-day weekend.
If you have questions, please post them here. Don't forget that the final drafts are still due this Thursday no matter what. Thanks for understanding. :)
~Mrs. Glenn
whan is the comic due?
ReplyDeleteSoon. Just work on it, and I'll give you a due date later. Let's concentrate on getting that essay done shall we!!
ReplyDeletewhat essay?
ReplyDeleteis it posted on your gsmst webpage?
what is the essay topic on??
ReplyDeletei cannot find it... maybe i am not looking in the right place
ohhh...
ReplyDeletethanks!
thanks himesh.
ReplyDeleteOkay, so we just need to do the final drafts for the essays that we did over the past three weeks. Just a quick question on the AP Human Topic for the map, can we do it on the computer and type in arrows to wher the person went and type in the there mode of transportation or do we have to draw the map by hand? I already it by the computer because if it draw it by hand it will not look like earth anymore.
ReplyDeleteit doesnt specify so i guess it doesnt matter
ReplyDeleteWait... so we just pick one topic right? Or do we do final drafts for all the essays?? Thanks!
ReplyDeletefinal draft for 1 and turn it in
ReplyDeleteis there a rubric for the comic strip? if so, where is it?
ReplyDeletefor the comic strip, will we have more time to read the story or is that it?
ReplyDeleteYes, I think we will have more time to read tomorrow in class or something. We don't even have a due date for it yet which probably means just keep working on it in class.
ReplyDeleteI think there is no rubric yet
ReplyDeleteCan some be a superstar and tell me about this comic strip? It would be greatly appreciated! =)
ReplyDelete-Prima
in class she gave us a packet on the trojan war. we have to make a 12 panel comic over the packet. dnt wrry, ull probobly get 1 2morrow
ReplyDeleteit's one stip for the Trojan War one, and one for The Fall Of Troy
ReplyDeleteok for the AP essay we still have to follow the rubric that was on her wedsite AND do the map?
ReplyDeleteyea
ReplyDeleteoh ok thx. i shud get started on that then
ReplyDeleteno prob
ReplyDeletehey mrs. Glenn, do we have to give back those papers on the trojan war and fall of troy, if so can we give them back after the weekend. Thnaks alot, i know your probably busy but you still have time to help.
ReplyDeletehi, i just want to clarify something, is our interview essay one that we can turn in?
ReplyDeleteyou can turn it in, but make sure u have the map
ReplyDeleteok thanks
ReplyDeleteFor the comic strips, we do them on computer papers, one for each?
ReplyDelete-Stephanie Moon
Ohhh btwww,,
ReplyDeletefor the comic strips, can we draw them on computer and print them?
or does it HAVE to be hand-drawn?
I was thinking that I sketched them on computer and then color them by hand :)
To Jun Ha:
ReplyDeleteAnother person in my class asked that question on Thursday. Ms. Glenn said no. You can only draw the boxes for the comic strip on the computer, but you must hand draw the pictures.
Does anyone have the purple paper to the trojan war I need it to complete the second comic strip and the outline. By the way are we turning in the outline?
ReplyDelete@Danish Mrs. Glenn has copies of the stories on her website right above the Greek and Latin root words
ReplyDeleteand you dont need 2 turn in the outline
ReplyDeletekk thanks kevin :)
ReplyDeleteDo the 2 strips for the comic strips have to be 6 boxes each?
ReplyDelete12 each
ReplyDeleteMrs. Glenn, I was wondering if I could exceed twelve frames to fit the whole story onto the comic strip, but if I can't then that is okay, I will be able to manage. Thank you and have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteohhhh
ReplyDeleteanother question came up with me :)
ocan some frames bigger than other frames?
because I think i might have some scenees that could be bigger than other scenes...
thank youuu :)
@navjot: she said to keep it at 12
ReplyDelete@jun ha: that would seem fine
Okay, thanks Payam for the help :)
ReplyDeleteohhh got it,
ReplyDeletethankss :)
no one answered my question.. :'(
ReplyDeleteagain, anyone know what type of paper it has to be on? is it standarized computer paper or poster board size or something else? and all we have to turn is two 12framed comic strips, correct?
thanks a bunch to whoever is going to answer :)
-Stephanie Moon
Ok, I'm confused. So each story has to be 12 boxes? I don't remember, or could have forgot, anything from class that inplicated that we needed 12 boxes for each story. Well, I'm confused about the assignment in general.
ReplyDeleteSo is it 6 per story or 12? I'm also worried about the rubric; where is it? Is there any special format, any sort of template we need to follow? Can it be in any size paper like legal? I just want to make sure I have everything down to the dot. :(
Finally, is it due Tuesday?
David: It's 12 per story so there'll be 24 squares put together. And yeahhh you can use regular paper, and it IS due on Tuesday :)
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know if we have to turn in our outline?
ReplyDeleteYou don't need to turn in the outline....it's just for us to use to make the comic strips
ReplyDeleteOn the calender--its under wenesday, so i think its due on wenesday now.
ReplyDeleteUmmm.. are you sure it's due on Wednesday? And we have to color it also, right?
ReplyDeletei think it is still due tuesday.... i dont see any changes on her website that says it is due on wednesday
ReplyDeletecan the title take up one of the boxes?
ReplyDeleteoooo- good question
ReplyDelete@ Urvashi & Sarina-- If you open the link to the words on the calendar, the word doc says "This list is due Wednesday, October 14th."
ReplyDelete@Nizar: I think they thought u were talking about the comic strip.
ReplyDeleteo-- srry
ReplyDeleteit is ok
ReplyDeletethanks for helping anyway
np
ReplyDeletewhat do we do if we dont have a book dictioary at home?
ReplyDeletego to the library...
ReplyDeleteits open on tuesday
ReplyDeletefor the wordmasters can we type it and then paste it onto the index card (cuz thats wat the probe class was required to do last year) or does it have to be handwritten????
ReplyDeleteill just use internt
ReplyDeletehas to be handwritten, or at least thats what she said
ReplyDeleteugh but i typed most of it on my computer already :(
ReplyDeletedoes it matter how the comic strip is organized, like 3by 4 or 2 by 6 ?
ReplyDelete@maliha- someone asked that in out class, and she said no.
ReplyDelete@gena- I don't think it matters what the dimensions are--as long as it fits one sheet of paper
Absolutely hilarious!!! You guys crack me up!! ROFL!! First of all, thanks to all who helped answer the questions of your peers...good looking out! Second, I'll try to clear up some things as well.
ReplyDelete1. Comic strips are due Tuesday (tomorrow). The need to be able to fit on one page (computer paper). The size of the squares don't matter, as long as you have 12 squares. If you need to make a few more than 12, that's fine. but please don't make more than 14.
2. The copies of the stories (Trojan War, and Fall of Troy) are on my home page for those who still don't know that. :)
3. Wordmasters words are due Wednesday on index cards, and they should be HAND WRITTEN...not typed. You will not receive any credit if they are typed. BTW, dictionaries can be found in the library or book stores. The internet only gives skimmpy definitions. You'll need more than a skimmy definition to compete in WORDMASTERS.
3. Thursday is our writing lab again. My advisment team has given me some good ideas...I'll share them with you on Thursday.
4. Friday is Culture Day!! I can't wait to see your displays and presentations!! Who's making Kimchi?? (did I spell that right?)
so we need at least 12 squares or at least 12 pictures?
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteDoes the comic strip scenes have to cover the whole story or can they cover part of the story??
ReplyDelete@payam- 12 squares, i guess u could make 13 for the title square
ReplyDelete@Lamia- I think they cover the whole story
o thanks nizar :)
ReplyDeleteCome on, this is just too many questions. Haven't you guys ever done comic strips in middle school before? I need 12 frames with pics in each frame. You need a small caption or something that tells me what's going on in the frame, and it needs to be colored.
ReplyDeleteCover the whole story as much as you can, I know some details will be left out because you're only working with 12 frames. Just be as accurate as possible. It's like a summary using pictures. It's really not that hard...you have notes, and you have the packets uploaded to the website. You can do it!!
~Mrs. Glenn
I hate to ask more questions, but is it ok if there's blood in the pictures? I tried to not make it TOO bloody, but there's a ton of fighting and stuff in the stories. XD
ReplyDeletedo we have to color the pictures on our comic strip? @nerdy: (grr) i would guess that it has to be school appropriate; think about movies like narnia or austin powers, where there is fighting but not really blood (although i doubt austin powers is school appropriate)
ReplyDeleteMrs. Glenn is it okay if we have some stick figures as the army or side characters? I am sorry if I am bothering you and see you tomorrow!
ReplyDelete@nerdy: as long as you dont over do it, the blood technically is color.
ReplyDeleteso we do have to color it?
ReplyDeleteyea, we do
ReplyDelete@ gena: Yes we have to color it and if you scroll up then you will see that in Mrs.Glenn's reply/comments it says that the comic strip has to be colored and 12 to 14 frames long,which will represent the story that you have read.
ReplyDelete@ ppl: you guys are asking soo many questions..
ReplyDeleteand i dont think they can be stick figures. just try to draw as best as you can and hope that it won't be horrible :)
Payam, by any chance do you know if we can use stick figures as side characters, because they are not that important to the story?Please respond soon, thanks!
ReplyDelete@stephaine: in class she said thay can be stick figures
ReplyDeleteokay thanks so much!!
ReplyDeleteoh noes
ReplyDelete-_- i already finished my first comic strip, but i didnt know it was suppose to fit on one page....
its 3 pages long :((((( and it took me A LOT of time to draw it allll...what should i DOOOO? :(
omygosh i'm totally doomed =-=
idk, cut and paste the important 1s?
ReplyDeleteIt doesnt take long, You could make another one really quickly.
ReplyDelete=-= but its a waste of my drawings :((
ReplyDeletei dont wanna just "throw it: away T_T
agdlakh ugh it took me like,3 days to do it ;(
U could hang it on ur wall, or your fridge...
ReplyDelete:)
@Jun Ha: Honestly, if you had already done it, i don't think she'll be angry or take points off. (I did it on a sheet of comic paper, so I have the same problem)
ReplyDeleteYeah, I only did a little blood. But there's suicide, death, slaughter, and many other bloody things, so I couldn't really avoid blood. I didn't use much, so I hope it'll be ok. ):
Too cute!! Remind me to thank you guys later for being sooo nice to one another. JunHa, turn in what you have. I will probably have to take a few points off though. Please don't do the whole thing over!! (I'm sure it looks great!)
ReplyDeleteYes, guys, I know it's a war, but try to make it as "school appropriate" as possible. I'm displaying them.
Oh yeah, stick figures in the background is okay...you're right they are not main characters. :)
You guys ROCK!!
Mrs. G.
aww.. I did them all as Stick guys... i can't draw
ReplyDelete:(
mine are sort of stick figures (they have normal bodies)
ReplyDeletelol @Nizar's comment xD
ReplyDeleteand thank youuuu ms glenn :D
i think i might bring another one in case :P
