WHAT ARE WE LEARNING: How to read and define comics.
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT: We have come to the last unit of our class! We are going to move on from creating single pieces of art and start creating illustrated stories. Before we can create our own comics, we need to think about how to read comics and how they are structured.
HOW WILL MY TEACHER KNOW WHAT I LEARNED: You will read Understanding Comics by Scott McCloud to help you define the word "Comics". Then you will read a comic page posted to our class website to practice transcribing comic scripts.
