David Comic Book Assignment
1.
In groups composed of three students, you are to create a comic book-style
depiction of the story of David
2.
You must include material covered in the following chapters:
1 Sam 16, 17, 18, 24-29 and 31; 2 Sam 11-16, 18; 1 Kings 1-2
See below for the three sections: The Rise of David, Court History I,
Court History II
Each student in the group will be responsible for a different section.
3.
You should devote about 5 to 6 pages to each section, with from four
to six panels per page.
This length is a suggestion,
not a requirement, but realize that you will be graded on
your ability to depict the story with some depth and accuracy.
4.
This assignment will count as a major test grade (100 points).
5.
Grading:
You will be graded on your ability to depict the story with accuracy and
depth. The quality of your work will
also be taken into account. The grade range by decade (i.e. 90’s, 80’s,
70’s, 60’s) will be determined by accurate rendering of the key elements
of the story as listed on the on line Grade Sheets (below).
The grade you earn within this range will be determined by the
quality of your drawings and dialogue,your
use of color, the overall quality of your book. In other words, while
the quality of your drawing will
help your grade, you must meet content and clarity
requirements first.

Psalm 8
1:
O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!
who
hast set thy glory above the heavens.
2:
Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because
of thine enemies,
that
thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.
3:
When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the
stars,
which
thou hast ordained;
4:
What is man, that thou art mindful of him?
and
the son of man, that thou visitest him?
5:
For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels,
and
hast crowned him with glory and honour.
6:
Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands;
thou
hast put all things under his feet:
7:
All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;
8:
The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea,
and
whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.
9: O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in
all the earth!
Psalm 23
1: The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2: He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3: He restoreth my soul:
he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his
name's sake.
4: Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will
fear no evil:
for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort
me.
5: Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:
thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6: Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life:
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
Psalm 137
1: By the rivers of Babylon,
there we sat down, yea, we wept,
when we remembered Zion.
2: We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof.
3: For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song;
and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying,
Sing us one of the songs of
Zion.
4: How shall we sing the LORD's song in a strange land?
5: If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning.
6: If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth;
if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy.
7: Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem;
who said, Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation
thereof.
8: O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed;
happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast
served us.
9: Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against
the stones.
