Project+Options

You and your group members (4 to a group) are challenged to create a comic book representation of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. You will need to work as a group (4 to a group), planning together and delegating responsibilities among all members.If you have a great artist in the group, you may want to draw your own illustrations. But, you could decide on the use of online images or even pictures from magazines instead of drawings. The illustrations are only one aspect of your project. You will need to write a story line to accompany the illustrations. These lines should be original poetry in the style of the alliterative tradition. That means to employ alliteration for effect. You will want to choose the key events that you will illustrate. You need not illustrate every character or event, just a few. Your text can help tell the story as much as the pictures. Write an explanation at the back of your project which details how everyone in your group contributed.

**Original Poem** Write a 20 line poem using alliteration of your favorite hero. It can besomeone from the past, or someone from today. Is your hero a family member, or is your hero somebody you know at school like a school teacher. Remember to put in your poem why the person you chose is a hero. ** Artistic Cover ** Create a new cover for the poem Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. Design a one page cover page newsletter with your cover page and a two paragraph description of the poem. Make the description engaging. The goal is to have the reader look beyond the cover and into the book.
