The Comic Book Show and Tell

(View Complete Item Description)

In this lesson, students will draft a comic book script based on a general prompt (e.g., A super hero saves the day!) and explore basic information about comics and comic book writing. Then, based on the detail and description in the script, students will create the page layout and images of a peer's comic book script. Next, students edit the first drafts of their scripts upon seeing how well the artists were able to match their visuals with the visions the writers had in their head as they initially composed the script. Last, students will share their revised scripts with classmates and discuss how the drafts differed.
