What educators are saying

I teach a Graphic Novel Elective, so this was a perfect print-and-go assignment for them to create a short graphic memoir story! :)
This was a great break from the normal writing we've been doing. The students loved it even the ones that aren't artists by nature.

Description

Your students will put everything they know about graphic novels into practice when they complete this Comic Book Memoir Project! In this Comic Book Memoir Project, students will complete a short, original comic book about a single moment in their lives.

This highly scaffolded project breaks the process down into small steps for your students. Just follow the steps in the included teacher's guide for a no-prep project and use the included tips to make this digital or to differentiate for your students as you go.

Using the included student directions and worksheets, students will brainstorm ideas, outline their story, storyboard their comic, peer-edit one another's work, create an original comic, and then reflect on their work.

With an included teacher's guide full of tips, editable assignment directions and rubric, an example, and lots of blank templates to give your students, this project will be easy for you to facilitate.

This Comic Book Memoir Project is highly flexible. Every worksheet comes with an editable version. If your school has comic-making software, you can easily turn this into a completely remote project. Provide extra scaffolding (tips in the teacher's guide) or less depending on your students' needs.
