__Look through your chosen graphic novel. · Find a **part of the story that shows the conflict** clearly, but doesn’t resolve it. o Choose a few whole pages in this section that show at least 25 panels. § you’ll need to sit and count o This is your **Conflict Section**.

· Find the emotional climax of the story, where the **conflict is resolved**. o Choose a few whole pages in this section that show at least 25 panels. § you’ll need to sit and count o This is your **Resolution Section**.

· For each section, determine the type of transition used between each of the panels (at least 48 transitions, possibly more). This will be tricky at first, but it gets easier as you work your way through it! · Chart the results!
