Comics and Graphic Novels

In 4th grade we are examining the genres of comic books and graphic novels. Mr. Coutu, the art teacher at the middle school, visited us to explain some art techniques to use when creating your own comics. We loved watching him draw. Mrs. Doe received a grant from U.S. Cellular to help teach us about comics. We read from The Secret Science Alliance and then created our own comics with special storyboards and markers. We will award a prize to one student from every fourth grade class and a grand prize to the best comic strip in fourth grade.
