INSTRUCTIONS: The chapters you are responsible for are listed under Contents on my Edline page. The main purpose of this evaluation is to summarize your chapters in comic book             format. (SEE INTERNET SITES BELOW FOR SAMPLES) THE MINIMUM NUMBER OF PAGES FOR        EACH CHAPTER SUMMARY IS ONE AND THE MAXIMUM NUMBER IS THREE. It is up to you and your partner to decide how many pages you will create. You must illustrate your pages in a creative and colorful way. EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE CREATING A COMIC BOOK THE STORYLINE OF JANE EYRE IS SERIOUS SO DO NOT MAKE THE STORY FUNNY.
