1st Grade 8-Panel Comics

This is quite an overdue post, but during the 3rd quarter the Kindergarten and 1st Grade students completed 8-panel comics based on the idea of traveling to visit a family member or friend. The inspiration for this unit was Up & Down by Britta Teckentrup which I read to the students and had them analyze. After the reading students discussed the idea of pictures telling a story as well as stories usually having multiple "middles" but only one "beginning" and "end."

After much discussion and sharing, students final work of art was a 8-panel comic with a beginning, six middle sections, and a clear ending in which they arrive at their destination to visit their friend or family member.

See below for a sample of the work by the 1st grade classes:
