The Environment

Continuing with last week’s topic of the environment, I want you to create a mini comic book based around the environment. It could be a superhero comic for example where the superhero is fighting the litterbugs. Get create and have fun with this activity. I attached a comic template and it is also on our class web page but feel free to deign your own template...using a ruler of course.
