zine!

-



 










For this project, I ended up making a zine. I was originally going to make a movie trailer, but I have no video editing skills whatsoever, so it was a bit difficult to start. I thought a zine would be great for this book because there are a lot of visuals you get while reading. There was also a lot of color symbolism throughout the book, so I figured I could play into that a little bit. I’ve never made a zine that was picture based before, so it was pretty challenging because I am not gifted artistically. This was a really fun project, though, and I’m glad I got to try something different. I enjoyed mentally channeling my middle school self to make this art project!!

    I love that you made something handmade. Everyone I have looked at so far has been online, even mine, (not that an online project is any less than a handmade project) so it was really interesting what you came up with. I love the last pages the most with the bright blue butterfly and red ticket. From what I know of the novel, those two pieces are crucial to the imagery and themes.

    Hey Katie,

    I really like your zine! I think you sell your artistic skills short here. Like Charlie said, it's neat to see someone go the non-digital route with this assignment. And I love how your zine functions not just as a means to get readers interested in the book ("who's Strum? Why is he missing? What does music have to do with all this?") but you also include a little call-to-action for the reader with a way that they can help their local environment. One criticism of my own work is that my PSA was exclusively focused on the activist aspect, so I like how you blend both things.

VISUALIZATION PROJECT

ANNOTATED IMAGE     For this project, I decided to do an annotated image. I felt that this was the most appropriate because the students will be reading a graphic novel, and they probably won’t know certain graphic novel terms that are important or what to look for when they’re annotating. I chose this image specifically because it also has some things that can be annotated based on the lens the students would be using for this unit (which is gender/gender norms ), and it has a few good examples of graphic novel vocabulary words I would want students to know. To differentiate the two different reasons for annotating, I have added two different types of clickable points. The blue circles are showing what to look for/how to annotate for gender norms within the story. The red circles show different graphic novel terms and what they mean.  This process definitely deepened my understanding of graphic novel terminology and how authors/illustrators use all of the space on the pages to show th

TEXT SET

  INTRODUCTION Hello! Welcome to my third blog post!  I’ve decided that my imaginary class that I would be teaching these texts in would be a Film and Literature Class. It would be an elective that’s only available to upperclassmen in high school. As for how the texts would all work together, I would have different units that cover different “lenses” in this class. For example, in the gender lens unit, students would analyze different gender norms, tropes, etc. in the movies/books that we read. In this class, I would be focusing on three lenses: race, gender, and mental health.  **Also, I would have students all get permission slips filled out by parents/guardians in the beginning of the semester because some of the movies are rated ‘R’ and I wouldn’t want that to be an issue halfway through the semester. The entire text set would be listed out for parents/guardians in the beginning, so they can choose to allow their student to take the class or not. PRINT O’Malley, Bryan. Scott Pilgri
