challenge yourself to aim for a coherent essay that is focused around a central, controlling thesis. (Later in the course, this will be a requirement.) you can choose to explore more than one idea, using paragraphs to organize your different thoughts. Choose ideas that interest you. What do you notice? What do you like? What do you wonder? Make sure your paragraphs are clear, focused, and organized – remember, one idea per paragraph, with supporting evidence clearly explained. Some sample topics: ● Relationships between characters ● Power imbalances ● Author/illustrator storytelling choices ● Transitions between panels ● The Hero’s Journey
