Lesson 1 (from Part I (Pages 1 - 57))
Objective
The objective of this Daily Lesson is for students to analyze Khor's choice to write this story as a graphic novel. Throughout Part I, Khor often communicates a character's feelings to the reader primarily through her drawings of the expressions on their faces rather than through the text. Khor is also able to communicate the awesome and mythical nature of the god-like characters in her drawings through their visual contrasts to the other characters. In Part I, this is especially true of Pei Pei, Auntie Po's larger-than-life blue buffalo. Khor is also able to communicate the entire layout of the camp and the setting to the readers through pictures, using relatively little space.
Lesson
Class Discussion: How would you describe Khor's visual style in this graphic novel? What specific parts of the story do you think Khor communicates the best to the reader through the images...
