This four-week unit will implement Common Core State Standards for English Language

Arts, Reading Literature, Writing, and Speaking & Listening. Students will read and understand comics and draw their own comics. By the end of this unit, students will be familiar with terms connected with comics such as panels, frames, gutters, transitions, action, subject, moment, scene, line, and shape. With continued journaling and drawing, students will be ready to write four-panel strips by the end of the year.
