Enjoy the link here.
Notice how they condensed the entire Napoleon Dynamite movie into 30 seconds. Wow! To do so, they had to isolate important scenes, lines of dialog, sound effects, music, and memorable visual moments.
Now, imagine if angryalien.com hired you as a cartoonist or a writer and wanted you to do something very similar for ATTWN. It would be called:
"And Then There Were None in 30 Seconds (and Re-Enacted by Bunnies)"
The entire novel would need to be told in 30 seconds. What would you include for chapter 10?
You may choose to either:
A. Draw a quick series of boxes to show what you'd include, like in a comic strip including dialog, visuals, music and sound. (3 to five cartoon boxes)
or
B. Write the visuals and dialog, music, and sound within a series of quick bullet points. (3 to five bullet points)
Think about the highlights, important and memorable moments that took place at this point in the story.
Have fun with this one, and don't worry if you're an artist or not. The grading on creative projects like this is very flexible.
Just try your best and be creative!
The more energy you put into it, the more fun you will have.

QUESTION: i dont understand two!!!!!!!!!!!! i dont understand ANY OFFF THEMMM!!!!! my mum or dad doesnt get it tooo!
ANSWERS: Don't worry. The vote in 6th hour came out and students chose by a majority of 4 to 1 to NOT cram it in over break.
As far as #2 goes, you have to use your skills of inference. Look closely at what happens with Mrs. Brent during this chapter. Look closely at the question. Can you INFER a connection? Not everything in books is obvious. Sometimes you have to read deeply into things and make connections for yourself.
QUESTION: for #4 is it just for chapter 4 or for everything that has happened so far?
ANSWER: I'm assuming you mean is it for only chapter 10 (not 4). Yes, only Chapter 10. It says "What would you include for chapter 10?" Right?
When in doubt, go back and read the directions again.
i dont get this mrc
ReplyDeleteCOMMENT: i dont get this mrc
ReplyDeleteRESPONSE: It would help if you were more specific. What don't you get?
wait, so we wont have to do this over break? Because i wont have computer acess over break either.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand what you mean by including music in our comic strip how do we do that?

PLZZZZZZZZZZ HELLLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!
If we spend 2 hours (which is what most people have been saying it takes them) doing the homework, are we doing too much detail?
ReplyDeletei would like to know what the point of this book is. isnt the point kinda pointless? people are invited to an island and then they all start dying one by one...whats the point of that??
ReplyDeleteim confused on #4...are we supposed to write (or draw) chapter 10 in 30 seconds or like the whole book, but only the 2 seconds of chapter 10?
ReplyDeleteis it ok if we have 6 bullet points for #4?
ReplyDeleteHey guys sorry to bother you again but I found out that the 10.8.2 version of And then there were none for Windows Vista ver. 6.0 and 6.1 and Windows 7 Ver. 7.4 and Windows XP 19.914 crash with the game runing on it. You really dont want to have that happen it happened to all of the CPU's that I tried with those versions on it. They all crashed. Play it on the WII.
