1. Make a list of ten “scenes” (events) for your comic chapter. (If you have two chapters, you can have up to twenty scenes.)
2. Write the text to go with these scenes. You can use text from the actual book (here it is online) or rewrite it. Up to you.
3. Do the art for your scenes. You may want to make backgrounds for each scene separately from the characters. You also may want to reuse some of these for the different scenes.
4. Scan in all the art.
5. Do a story board.
6. When you have everything ready you will create a comic using Comic Life.
7. And lastly we will combine them in a series of pages for our class blog!

The Edinger House Alice in Wonderland Comic was premiered, several students presented poems, and there was even time for a few rounds of “Stick the Smile on the Cheshire Cat.”

Then, you are going to do your final Alice post. Begin by writing a brief summary of what you did (read book, plan comic, etc). Then write something with a link to your comic page. You may also want to link to the Project page with links to all of the other comics. You may want to include links to previous posts about Alice, too.  Lastly, write a few sentences giving a sense of what you got out of the project. You might want to mention the Tea Party in your final sentences.

Scenes
Why did you decide to do one part of a chapter and not another? Go back and look at your favorite illustrator —all them had to make choices about what to illustrate. For example, John Tenniel doesn’t show her with the long neck in the clouds — maybe he thought it was too weird. But others do illustrate that part of the story.

Scripts
Write about revision. You must have shortened your scripts. I know (because I’ve worked with some of you) that you’ve had to make chances so that they worked better as comics. Some of you are updating things in the script, for example. How about Dinah coming down the rabbit hole in one case? (rc, is that yours by any chance?:)

Illustrations
Write about your characters. Some of you are doing some interesting things with the way you are illustrating — write about that! (Cheshire Cat as a rapper, for example.)

What We Have Done With Alice’s Adventure’s in Wonderland

• Read the book (how did you read it? Ms. Edinger read it, looked at different illustrated versions each time).
•  Watched videos about it and from its time (1900 House, Betty in Blunderland, The Young Visiters)
• Learned about Lewis Carroll
• Learned Alice Liddell
• We learned why he wrote the book
• Chose chapters today and began working with a partner on the start of a comic. (May want to explain what this is.)

Now go and write your post. Hopefully it will be thorough so that I am inspired to write about this on my blog and people will then come to see yours!
