[quote]Just noticed this forum on education and thought I'd share a project I did with my son's 2nd grade class in June.

We used Comic Life as the springboard for a three-day project on Visual Storytelling. Here's how we did it:

DAY ONE: Show samples of comic books & comic strips, discuss the "grammar" of visual storytelling. Split class into teams of three. Each team picks one of their favorite stories they read during the year. Figure out how to depict their story in 6-8 comic panels on a single page.

DAY TWO: Teams photographed their stories, using digital cameras and simple props/costumes.

DAY THREE: Teams used Comic Life to import their photos and build their comic pages, adding titles, captions and dialog as needed.

Over the following weekend, I posted their comics on my mac.com page, and printed a copy of each kid's comic for them to keep.

The project was a HUGE hit. Thanks to the plaqeteers for helping so many kids have fun while learning about storytelling!

P.S. I've attached the "Class Notes" that I wrote up for the teacher. [file name=ComicClass.pdf size=64875]http://plasq.com/components/com_simpleboard/uploaded/files/ComicClass.pdf[/file]<br><br>Post edited by: ajbezark, at: 2005/08/26 06:35[/quote]
