project for week 10
French Revolution Comic Strip Project:
- Items Needed: A3 Paper with Comic Strips/Squares, Colours, Glue, and Scissors
1. Students will work in groups of 3.
2. Each group will have to create a comic strip about the French Revolution.
3. Each comic strip MUST HAVE 8 frames or "sequences" in chronological order.
4. Each comic strip MUST include at least 3 different key people from the French Revolution.
5. Each comic strip MUST include at least 4 major events from the French Revolution.
6. All of your comics MUST have a speech bubble or small explanation of what is happening in the frame.
7. Be creative and think outside the box! For example, if you would like to highlight the fact that Marie Antoinette cared more about fashionable gowns and wigs than the French people, you can turn her quote "Let them eat cake!" into a witty joke like "Let them eat jewels!" but still maintain the true sequence of events.
8. Each group will have to be able to explain the different frames of their comic strip.
9. I would like MOST of the project to be HAND-DRAWN and less printing, please (for creativity and to conserve paper).

Why did you select this person or event?
