(Multimedia arts, ELA project)
To complement their study of Hamlet, students participated in a group project in which they created a graphic novel, updating an original scene or creating a new one inspired by Shakespeare’s characters and events.  Students were responsible for storyboarding ideas; directing a photo shoot in which they portrayed the characters; creating costumes; writing plots and text to contextualize the images.  Students employed technology including digital photography, iPhoto, Comic Life, and Adobe Acrobat.
