Due 3/4

There is no official homeword assignment due on Tuesday. However, most people will be working on completing their Jason Comic strip over the weekend and using a late pass to turn in in.

On Friday, we watched the first part of the classic 1963 movie version of Jason and the Argonauts. There is an assignment based on this, but most likely, you can complete it by watching the second half of the movie.

Due 2/29

Jason Comic Strip Assignment:

Reading:

BB: 159-167
LB: 122-127

After you complete your reading of the first part of the Quest for the Golden Fleece, you will be creating a comic strip that has 10 boxes. Each box should contain a picture of the action and a caption describing it. You will probably also want to include dialog in each box.

Obviously, if all you can draw is stick figure, that's fine! However, if you consider yourself limited in artistic ability, you might want to include some color to make it look like you put some time into it.

This assignment will be worth 5 Land.
