Critical Collaboration

In your last blog post, you reflected on your experience working with your co-author, with specific attention to the experiences of inhabiting their perspective and receiving and responding to their feedback.  In this post, write a paragraph in which you reflect on the experience of making/working with your partner. What were the different skills you needed in order for the designing and illustrating to go smoothly and productively? What challenges did you face? How did you respond to those challenges?

As always, be sure to point to specific examples in support of your observations. And continue working to incorporate sentence variety into your paragraphs.

Collaborating and Adapting

Now that you have had a chance to collaborate with your Lower School partner, write a paragraph in which you reflect on your experience working with your co-author. What was your experience receiving feedback from your partner? What were the challenges of listening to and inhabiting their perspective? How did you respond and adapt to the feedback they provided?

As always, be sure to point to specific examples in support of your observations. And continue working to incorporate sentence variety into your paragraphs.

The "Stuff" of Persepolis

In our most recent grammar lesson, we expanded our understanding of nouns as "stuff" that can be classified as people, places, things, and ideas to include qualities, quantities, and emotions. For this blog post, identify two nouns in the first two chapters of Persepolis. Then, write an analytical paragraph in which you explore how these two nouns work together to create or explore a theme in the graphic novel.

As always, be sure that you support your ideas with evidence from the text. Also, continue to work on varying your sentence structure.
