NCTE+3.6.2

**NCTE Standard 3.6.2**

//"Uses a variety of approaches for teaching students how to construct meaning from media and nonprint texts and integrate learning opportunities into classroom experiences that promote composing and responding to such texts."//

For the purposes of this standard, I have created a lesson in which students learn about the differences between how a comic strip or graphic novel is written in comparison to how a play or prose novel is written. After the lesson, students will be able to create their own short comic strip based on part of a scene of their choice from //Julius Caesar.// Ideally, this could be used as a wrap-up to a //Julius Caesar// unit and the kickoff to a graphic novel unit. This lesson could also be used with any other play, novel, or short story.
