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 Kindergarten classes:
