Appendix
In this unit on The Walking Dead – Comics to Television series, two Common Core Standards – one for reading and one for speaking and listening --will be addressed. These include: English Language Arts Standards/College Career Readiness Anchor Standards for Reading – Integration of Knowledge and Ideas: Integrate and evaluate content presented in diverse formats and media, including visually and quantitatively, as well as in words. Analyze multiple interpretations of a story, drama, or poem (e.g. recorded or live production of a play or recorded novel or poetry, evaluation how each version interprets the source text) and Speaking and Listening – Comprehension and Collaboration: Prepare for and participate electively in a range of conversations and collaborations with diverse partners building on others’ ideas and expressing their own clearly and persuasively. Students will be viewing the television show and reading the comics, focusing on the first season of six episodes and reading the corresponding comic pages. In doing so students will learn how to closely read comics as well as film (in this case a television show/series). Students will analyze and compare these two types of visual texts to answer guiding questions while engaging in conversations that will also assist them in practicing their active listening skills.
