Every story has a "story arc" - a series of events that the characters
move through, where the narrative tension rises and falls. To better
understand the stories we read and practice crafting better stories,
we're going to analyze story arcs from our favorite books and then
create a cartoon of those stories. Day 1 - Understanding Story ArcsToontastic will help us understand how story arcs work
In
the document below, describe the different parts of the story arc for two
books. First, for Sign of the Beaver. Second, for a book of your choice.
Day 2/3 - CartooningNext, create
your cartoon! Based on your story arc. You're going to draw out your settings and characters,
animate them, and speak their parts. You won't be graded on your
drawings, so you should spend most of your time making sure your stories
are clear and get to the heart of the story arc.
