Research the topic of Chinese American History and Chinese Immigration to the United States. Try to find examples and situations of racism, discrimination and stereotype. Your research should be 1 - 1 1/2 pages. Please make sure you cite your sources that you use. //You should use at least two sources.//
 * Research Project **

I've included some good links for you to look at and get some idea behind the trials and hardships that Chinese immigrants have endured in American history. Many times the hardships included widespread violence and severe discrimination.

 * Final Project: Graphic Novelette**

Date Due: June 13/14

Points: 175

Create a graphic novelette presentation based on our reading of American Born Chinese. Your project should include some basic content and themes used in the ABC novel.

Your project can be about anything you want but should convey a message of identity and self-awareness. This can be positioned from the point of view of wanting to be accepted; fitting in when you're not really comfortable doing it; rejection; etc. Your content should be appropriate (think PG 13!).


 * Your project must have**


 * At least 12 panels and consist of narration,
 * Dialogue (text, onomatopoeia, etc.)
 * Presentation (use of graphic layout, bleeds, graphic weight, etc)
 * Plot
 * Conflict
 * Character development (Your character (s) should be well defined and demonstrate depth. This can be accomplished by using creative writing in the dialogue and the narration)

Approach your story by establishing plot, character, setting, rising action, climax, declining action and resolution. Use worksheet and storyboard to help you create your graphic novelette.
