5.1.5 Preparing for the Graphic Novel Quiz



On the next page, you will write a quiz on all the concepts of graphic novels that you have learned in the course thus far. At this point in time, it is recommended that you review Simon's Graphic Novel tutorial, as well as the Mysteries of Visual Images tutorial.

Before and during the writing of your quiz, consider the following guidelines:
  • This quiz is open-book, but it is timed. You will have 2 hours to write it, which makes familiarity with your resources a necessity. Studying is still important to do beforehand, even if it is an open-book quiz.
  • If you have an unpredictable or unstable internet connection, you may wish to first write your answers to the quiz questions in a separate document, simply to have them backed up in the event of an internet hiccup.

  • Even if your internet is stable, be sure to 'save' your work, after completing every question, and at the end of completing every page.

  • Most short answers should be written as paragraph responses. This means you should be writing in full sentences. Ensure you are supporting all of your ideas with specific details and explanation.

  • If you have any issues while writing the test (either during, or issues that arise afterwards) call your teacher immediately to ensure your issues are not overlooked and your work is properly and fairly assessed.

  • Plagiarism is not tolerated in English 20-2. Ensure all your answers within the quiz are written in your own words. Ensuring you are writing answers in your own words is not only avoiding plagiarism, but it is also helping you to remember and understand things in the terms you are most familiar with (the way you  think and speak).
