Zines Due at the Start of Next Class, November 2


Please follow these directions: Each student will need to have 15 copies of their completed zine at the beginning of class on November 2. I will be in the library from 12:30 to 2:00 that afternoon to help anyone who has not finished. 

However, prepared students should have enough time to complete their zine production during class on October 31.

You will not be submitting this on Populi. This will be a physical submission. 

Critique will follow the guidelines of the rubric below. 


Basic Zine Rubric:

10/10 = Text and image work cohesively together; clear evidence of EA Poe's "The Oval Portrait" as inspiration; lively and error-free writing; design and craft are exquisite. 

9/10 = Text and image work together to convey meaning; clear evidence of EA Poe's "The Oval Portrait" as inspiration; writing has a few casual errors; design and craft are sharp.

8/10 = Text and image sometimes work together to convey meaning; unclear evidence about how it connects to the EA Poe story, "The Oval Portrait"; writing is ok but would benefit from closer attention; more than few correctable errors in grammar, spelling, punctuation, etc.; design and craft are ok, but closer attention would benefit the zine. 

7/10 = Text and image seem disconnected and don't work together to convey meaning; no clear and evident use of the EA Poe story; writing is somewhat sloppy and unedited, frequent errors in English usage; design and craft are substandard. 

If your zine has a score lower than 7, please see me at your earliest convenience.  Something has gone dreadfully wrong.
