ACADEMIC/LEARNING OBJECTIVE
Scholars
will learn to use ComicLife to load, manipulate, adjust, and save
digital photographs in a comic book style format. Scholars will then
use that knowledge to create a researched comic book page of a
famous African-American from history. Pages will be submitted electronically for credit.
SCHOLARS WILL ENTER THE CLASS QUIETLY AND BEGIN WORKING!
Scholars will work individually to master the ComicLife software suite. They
will choose photos from Google Images to work with. They must complete
research on the person assigned to them, and create a 1 page project.
Final projects must be submitted electronically via the link provided below for credit.
Peer Mentoring will be used to help each other master the program.

Ok Everyone,
Assignment: Todayyou will choose an African-American Historical figure from my
list and create a 1-page comic-book about that person's
biography. Include where they are from, what significant
contributions they have made, and why they are a prominent historical
figure. Your page must include when and where they were born, some
reference to where they lived, and where they are now. I encourage you
to create your page with some "flow" to it. You must collect pictures
to go with your story and then use
ComicLife to create the comic book pages. YOU MUST USE AT LEAST 6
PICTURES. YOU MUST HAVE AT LEAST 2 QUOTES. We will work on one together
in class today and your story is due before the end of February.
No two projects can be on the same person.
Use these websites to choose a historical figure:
