Storytelling Through Comics
Description
Comics are an engaging multimodal media that gives storytellers new and creative ways to communicate with the world!
In this one-time workshop or workshop series, professional comic creators teach your students how to write and draw their own comics and express themselves creatively. Through synthesizing pictures and text, students can communicate stories or their learnings on a specific subject with higher engagement and excitement. By the end of the workshop or workshop series, students will have created their own comic on a subject of your choosing.
This experience is highly-customizable for different ages, content, and workshop length.
Workshop capacity depends on school staffing and set-up.
