SESSION TITLE: Creative Comics Projects for Your Classroom DESCRIPTION: Let’s take a hands-on look at the fun and power of cartooning and comics creation! Teacher, lifelong cartoonist, and award-winning graphic novelist Marek Bennett will demonstrate basic concepts and techniques to help you and your students create eye-catching, memorable, original comics based on whatever you’re studying, using common school supplies like pencils, paper, & pens. (Everybody can create comics — You don’t have to have any drawing experience to see your stories come to life on the page!) With our original demo pages in hand, we’ll also explore some project templates you can adapt for your own classroom, to use as stand-alone lessons or fully integrated units. http://www.MarekBennett.com
