Class #24
NEXT CLASS: Optional workshop with teacherFOLLOWING THREE CLASSES:
PRESENTATIONS OF FINAL PROJECTS
PRESENTATIONS OF FINAL PROJECTS
Arrive on time, as late students will not achieve the passing grade. Arriving late due to photocopy issues is not a valid excuse. Ensure you make your photocopies the day before your presentation.
As a group, make sure that each presenter has enough material to present for 4 minutes (max: 5 minutes). Time yourself at home and make the necessary adjustments.
Group projects based on AI-generated content (except the cover page) will receive a grade of zero.
2) PAPER COPIES: PRINT 10 PAPER COPIES OF YOUR STORY FOR YOUR AUDIENCE.
3) SUBMISSION: AT LEAST ONE HOUR BEFORE YOUR PRESENTATION, SUBMIT A HIGH-QUALITY PDF COPY TO LEA.
In Comic Life, click on 'File' in the top menu. Click on 'Export' and then 'Export to pdf.'
Most importantly, select the highest 'Image Limit: 600 dpi' (to increase the quality of your images).
If you take photos of a hand-drawn story, make sure that your photos are straight and sharp. The resulting pdf file should look like a comic book story, not photos of a comic book story.
4) ORAL PRESENTATION: WITH YOUR PARTNER(S), PLAN & PREPARE TO PRESENT YOUR FINAL PROJECT IN CLASS.
You will need to present, orally, the content of your Teams group worksheet:
- Present the main thematic message and secondary ideas emerging from three Sleepwalk stories that relate to your story.
- If your message deviates from our class discussions, analyze a few details in the stories to demonstrate the validity of your message. Note: Groups of three can develop this point further.
- Present your group's critical commentary (your view on Tomine's message).
- Analyze details in your own story that illustrate and develop your group's view.
Do NOT summarize your story; we will have read it just before the start of your presentation.
Split the information equally among the members of the group.
The teacher will show the pdf copy of your story on the TV screen in the classroom. Do not create a Powerpoint presentation.
Please make sure to arrive to class 5 minutes early. Late presenters will not achieve the passing grade on their presentation and may receive a grade of zero.
Bring your copy of Sleepwalk.
LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR PRESENTATIONS!
ESSAY: Editing the Final Copy
Your final copy must reflect your draft closely.
Final Process Task: Make at least 10 modifications with comments (excluding fixing spelling and punctuation errors)
As you type your draft at home word for word, you should:
- Correct, on your own, spelling & punctuation errors (no need to insert comments)
- Delete or remove, on your own, any word or sentence that is unnecessary, repetitive, or confusing (no need to insert comments for deletions)
- Apply any suggestion made by Word-365 Editor (no need to insert comments)
- Make bigger changes, with or without AI, by following these rules:
Rules for advanced editing:
- If you use AI, you can only use the eight prompts on Moodle.
- Insert a comment for every modification made at this stage of the process, with or without AI; the comment should indicate whether your used AI or not. If you did use AI, indicate which Moodle prompt you used and what suggestion the AI made.
- No more than four words in a given sentence can be corrected, added, or replaced.
- One sentence per paragraph (including the introduction and conclusion) can be modified beyond four words.
- You may delete or remove any word or sentence.
Important: Final copies that deviate from these guidelines will not be graded and may receive zero as final grade.
Class #23
NEXT CLASS: BRING YOUR DEVICE
TO COMPLETE YOUR SELF-EVALUATION ON TEAMS
1) CONCLUSION: DRAFT YOUR CONCLUSION AT HOME ON THE BASIS OF YOUR IN-CLASS BRAINSTORM.
Follow the three part structure outlined in the essay guidelines: thematic message + which two literary elements support this message + 3 sentences discussing the significance of the message.
2) WORKS CITED & MLA FORMATTING: CREATE YOUR WORKS CITED PAGE & FORMAT YOUR ESSAY ACCORDING TO THE MLA GUIDELINES.
3) ESSAY (FINAL EDITING): TYPE, WORD FOR WORD, & EDIT YOUR DRAFT BY FOLLOWING CLOSELY THE PROCESS & EDITING RULES.
Follow the editing rules very closely, making sure to insert a comment for each modification during the final editing phase (without or without AI). Completing this final editing phase is the last process task in the evaluation.
At least 10 modifications (that is, 10 comments in the margins) are required to complete this last process task.
Remember: the only permitted AI prompts are the ones posted on Moodle.
4) AI REPORT: AT THE END OF YOUR ESSAY, AFTER THE WORKS CITED PAGE, ADD A BRIEF PARAGRAPH OR BULLET POINTS TO COMMENT ON YOUR USE OF AI TO DEVELOP YOUR OUTLINE AND ANALYSIS.
Was your thinking process influenced by the AI's analysis of your personal notes on the ten stories? If so, how and where?
5) SUBMISSION: AFTER INDICATING YOUR BEST PARAGRAPH AND COLORING YOUR FOUR SANDWICHES, SUBMIT YOUR FINAL COPY TO LEA.
Under your title, specify which paragraph you want your teacher to focus on when evaluating your analysis. If you don't specify, your teacher will focus on your first paragraph.
Present each sandwich in a specific dark color and the detail descriptions in bold. The topic, concluding and transitional sentences should remain in black.
Copies that are incomplete -- due, for instance, to the absence of an AI report or marginal comments identifying all modifications made during the final editing stage -- will not be accepted; these copies will be considered late (late fee: 5% per day).
Take care.
Class #22
NEXT CLASS: FINAL WRITING SESSION
< INTRODUCTION, CONCLUSION & WORKS CITED PAGE >
< INTRODUCTION, CONCLUSION & WORKS CITED PAGE >
1) GROUP PROJECT: ONE MEMBER IN EACH GROUP NEEDS TO DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL COMIC LIFE ONE ONE DEVICE Try it for free for 30 days.
Wait for the teacher to explain, in class, how to use Comic Life.
2) GROUP PROJECT: BEGIN TO GENERATE & SAVE TO FILES ALL YOUR IMAGES (WITHOUT THE WORDS & BUBBLES) USING GOOGLE GEMINI (if you're 18) OR STORYBOARDTHAT OR BY TAKING PHOTOGRAPHS OF REAL HUMAN ACTORS (like yourselves!) OR BY DRAWING EACH INDIVIDUAL IMAGE ON A LOOSE SHEET OF PAPER.
Tip: Include backgrounds and background details only when necessary. Focus on the characters (body language and facial expressions).
As you create your images, make sure to leave space for the bubbles and text.
FOR AI: Begin by creating your character designs. You may use the following prompt for each character: "Create the character design of [describe your character, making sure each character has one outstanding characteristic, such as glasses, curly hair, or a tie]. The background is entirely blank, white. Show the character from the front, the back, and the side, in an Alternative comic book style, in black and white."
FOR STORYBOARDTHAT: After creating one image on Storyboard That, (1) make the image as big on your screen as possible by zooming and (2) take a screenshot.
On a Mac, to take a screenshot, press and hold these three keys together: Shift, Command, and 3.
On a Microsoft computer, you may use the Snip & Sketch app.
3) ESSAY: If you have completed your draft of your first and second paragraphs, you may also begin to type it up, word for word, while correcting only punctuation and spelling errors.Note: If you prefer, you can pay $1 and download the images without watermarks.
Turn on Microsoft Word Editor to possibly identify and correct a few basic writing errors; there is no need to insert comments at this stage of the editing process.Complete the final editing stage -- by yourself (without AI) or by using the eight permitted AI prompts on Moodle -- while following these rules very closely:
Every single modification (at least TEN to complete the final process task), at this stage, must be identified by inserting a comment into the word document. In each comment, clarify the modification that was made and, if you used AI, identify the permitted prompt that was used.
These changes (replacing or adding a word) cannot affect more than four words in a given sentence.
Only one sentence per paragraph can be edited beyond four words.
You may delete or remove any word or sentence.
If AI suggests words that you don't know how to pronounce, cannot define without a dictionary, or wouldn't typically use, do not use them. Everything you write should sound like you. While using AI for editing suggestions is allowed in my courses, your work should never sound like it was generated by AI. The use of AI should be transparent, blending seamlessly with your voice and authentic writing style.
Take care.
CLASS #21
Section #7 & stick-figure draft are due next class.

OTHER PROCESS TASK: BRING THE FOLLOWING PAPER DOCUMENTS:
- your copy of Sleepwalk or photocopies (not annotated)
- essay guidelines
- rubric
- teacher's feedback on your first essay (on LEA in Assignments)
- if needed, posts on writing on symbols
(paper dictionaries are permitted // notes, devices, and AI reports are not permitted)
- your copy of Sleepwalk or photocopies (not annotated)
- essay guidelines
- rubric
- teacher's feedback on your first essay (on LEA in Assignments)
- if needed, posts on writing on symbols
(paper dictionaries are permitted // notes, devices, and AI reports are not permitted)
1) FINAL GROUP PROJECT (due next class): WITH YOUR TEAMMATE(S), FILL UP SECTIONS 1 TO 6 OF YOUR TEAMS GROUP WORKSHEET.
IMPORTANT: The use of AI to generate writing and fill up sections of the worksheet OR to find ideas for your story is NOT permitted; this is your story, based on your reflections. That said, your reflections on the stories may have been influenced by the AI's analysis of your notes as well as our class discussions.
Do NOT begin the creation of your stick-figure draft (not yet).
You will be able to modify sections 1-6 as you continue working on this project.
2) ESSAY PREPARATION: READ CLOSELY THE ESSAY GUIDELINES, THE RUBRIC, AND TEACHER'S FEEDBACK ON YOUR FIRST ESSAY.
3) OUTLINE PREPARATION: DETERMINE WHICH STORY YOU WILL, INDIVIDUALLY, ANALYZE IN YOUR ESSAY & BE PREPARED TO WRITE YOUR OUTLINE IN CLASS WITHOUT HAVING ACCESS TO YOUR NOTES. In short: choose the story, find the thematic message, and select the four details at home before class.
Important: You can analyze any Sleepwalk stories except "Unfaded" and "Sleepwalk," as we discussed these two stories fully in class.
Start by identifying central thematic message of the story and the two different literary elements that best support and develop this message. Each body paragraph will examine the author's use of one literary element. For each literary element, select two specific and revealing details that illustrate its role in conveying and developing the author's message. Then, decide on the most effective and logical order to present your analysis of these elements and details to ensure clarity and coherence for your reader.
Remember: Settings, secondary characters, or symbols (higher degree of difficulty) should be analyzed in the second paragraph. The first paragraph should directly relate to the main character, focusing on the protagonist in general or, more specifically, on one of the following literary elements: the protagonist's transformation, failure to transform (causes or effects), conflict/problem (causes and effects), conflict/problem & temporary resolution, resolution(s), initial psychological state (causes or effects), etc.
4) IMPORTANT: Make sure you fully understand the analytical significance of the four details you have selected. Be prepared, next class, to write your essay outline based on your own thinking and your own words without relying on your notes or having to discuss the story and details with your teacher. That said, your teacher will be available to answer all your questions about the essay guidelines, the rubric, and their feedback on your first essay.
Being influenced by our class discussions, your group partners' insights, and the AI's analysis of your notes is of course permitted; in fact, it is encouraged. However, in the end, you must analyze the stories on your own and demonstrate your understanding through your own writing and explanations.
In other words, don’t argue a point or analyze a detail unless you fully understand it in your own terms.
Take care.
CLASS #18
1) FINAL GROUP PROJECT (due in one week): WITH YOUR TEAMMATE(S), FILL UP SECTIONS 1 TO 6 OF YOUR TEAMS GROUP WORKSHEET.
IMPORTANT: The use of AI to generate writing and fill up sections of the worksheet OR to find ideas for your story is NOT permitted; this is your story, based on your reflections. That said, your reflections on the stories may have been influenced by the AI's analysis of your notes.
Do NOT begin the creation of your stick-figure draft (not yet).
You will still be able to revise and improve your worksheet.
For your final copy, you will be using Storyboardthat.com or Google Gemini or drawing. The page layout (including panels, bubbles, narrative boxes, and text) will be produced with Comic Life. Wait until November 8th to install the Comic Life app, as it is free for only 30 days.
Take care.
SYMBOLIC ANALYSIS OF THE PATCHES
CLICK HERE to see a good example of an analysis of a symbol
(1) In Adrian Tomine's short comic book story "Unfaded," the patches of lighter paint on the wall in the protagonist's grandfather's private room are striking symbols of enduring, vivid memories.
(2) When the protagonist enters his grandfather's old private room, he observes the walls, which are marked by patches of “[u]nfaded” paint, marks left behind after pictures were removed (78).
(3i) The patches of lighter paint symbolize the protagonist’s enduring memories of his past relationship with Carrie.
(3ii) Both the patches and the protagonist's memories are reminders of the past that refuse to fade away.
(3iii) Just as the patches, contrasting with the surrounding faded areas, are enduring, unfading reminders of the old pictures in his grandfather’s bedroom, the protagonist’s memories of his past relationship with Carrie endure and haunt him, refusing to fade, as shown in his current lack of “motivation” following the breakup (76).
(3iv) By representing the protagonist's memories as patches of unfaded paint, clearly visible against a faded wall, the author helps us perceive more palpably the protagonist's inner struggle to move past his memories, which to him are as present and visible as marks on the wall that resist erasure no matter how much time passes.
(3v) Tomine uses this symbol to speak of how memories, whether sweet or painful, can cling to the recesses of our minds, much like the patches on the wall. The symbolic patches serve as a reminder that the past, with its joy and sorrow, remains a part of us, forever influencing our present.
CLASS #17
NEXT CLASS: BRING YOUR COPY OF SLEEPWALK,
YOUR YOUR NOTES AND LAPTOP.
NOTE: Completing the tasks below and participating in the upcoming group work sessions are required to remain a member of your group.
1) READING & NOTE TAKING: READ THE FOLLOWING FIVE SLEEPWALK STORIES:
Long distance
Layover
Hostage situation
Six day cold
Hazel eyes.
As you read, take detailed and structured AI-friendly notes on each story. Think of how the stories connect or contrast.
As you write these notes, remember that they will be given to your AI assistant (see next point). Be clear and specific, include detailed references to Tomine's use of literary elements and details, and structure your notes clearly with # titles and ## sub-titles. Use # to identify the title of the story and ## to identify literary elements, details, or thematic ideas. Under each ## sub-title, present a list of points or initial insights related to this sub-title. Remember, the better your notes, the more useful the AI's assistance.Bring these notes to our next class.
Having detailed notes on each story is mandatory to join your group.
2) AI-ASSISTANCE: USE CHATGPT ONE TIME ONLY BY GIVING IT ALL OF YOUR STRUCTURED NOTES FOR ALL TEN STORIES AT ONCE -- BY USING THE PROMPT AT THE END OF THIS POST.
THE AI TOOL WILL ORGANIZE YOUR NOTES AND, BASED ON YOUR NOTES, IDENTIFY POSSIBLE PATTERNS IN TOMINE'S STORIES.
DO NOT HESITATE TO HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH THE AI ABOUT THE STORIES. Ask it to identify the one specific aspect of the human experience the author is examining or the one main specific thematic message that author is conveying. Force the AI to be specific and to do better. Remember: the AI's feedback can only be as good as your notes and questions.
Paste the AI's analysis in the same document as your original notes (see point 1).
Read the AI's analysis closely and highlight (in the Word document) interesting points.
3) AI REPORT: AT THE END OF THE DOCUMENT, IN A FEW THOUGHTFUL AND WELL-DEVELOPED SENTENCES, REPORT ON THE USEFULNESS OF THE AI'S ASSISTANCE.
Did it add value to your notes? Did it produce new insights? Did it include hallucinations, that is, claims that may sound convincing but that are, in fact, false or not supported by your notes? Most importantly, is there a difference between taking notes only for yourself and taking notes for an AI assistant?
4) LEA SUBMISSION: SUBMIT YOUR WORD DOCUMENT TO LEA IN 'ASSIGNMENTS.'
This document should include (1) your original notes on the ten stories, (2) the highlighted AI's report, and (3) a brief but insightful AI-report.
Take care.

BRING YOUR COPY OF SLEEPWALK,
YOUR NOTES, THE AI'S ANALYSIS, AND YOUR LAPTOP!
NOTE: Completing the tasks below and participating in the upcoming group work sessions are required to remain a member of your group.
1) SYMBOLS: READ CLOSELY THE COMMENTS YOU MAY HAVE RECEIVED ON YOUR ANALYSIS OF A SYMBOL (on Moodle). DECIDE WHETHER YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE ANALYZING SYMBOLS IN WRITING.
REMEMBER: If you write one paragraph on the author's use of symbols, analyze the two symbols in the second paragraph. This allows you to build on the basic context already introduced in the first paragraph, letting you focus more on the deeper meaning of the symbols without having to re-explain all the basic story details.
2) READING: INDIVIDUALLY, READ THE FOLLOWING STORIES FROM SLEEPWALK: "LUNCH BREAK," "DYLAN & DONOVAN," "4TH OF JULY," "CONNECTING THREAD" AND "ECHO AV."
AS YOU READ, TAKE DETAILED NOTES ON EACH STORY IN A WORD DOCUMENT.
As you write these notes, remember that they will be given to your AI assistant (see next point). Be clear and specific, include detailed references to Tomine's use of literary elements and details, and structure your notes clearly with # titles and ## sub-titles. Use # to identify the title of the story and ## to identify literary elements, details, or thematic ideas. For example:# Title of story: "insert title here"
## One specific literary element: character's name, setting, symbol, conflict, fake or final resolution, etc.):
- point
- point
- point
## A specific detail:
- point
## A thematic point or message:
- point
# Title of other story: "insert other title here"
