3. We also began our projects which are due tomorrow. You may choose from the following:
a. Draw a 6-frame comic strip that tells the story of “The Tell-Tale Heart”. Be sure to include important details from the story. Write from the omniscient point of view. Your comic strip must be colored. If you are not good at art, do not select this!
b. You may write a police report about the situation. Explain what officers would have to say about what took place. Tell who was involved, what happened and why. Explain how the events unfolded. Discuss the behavior of the people who were involved and why you were even there to begin with. A police report is impartial with no judgments-just observations. For example, instead of saying the suspect was crazy, write “The suspect appeared to be disoriented or confused.”
STUDY FOR YOUR TEST OVER THE STORY TOMORROW!!
