Comic Books

Our final project in our Wampanoag unit was to create a comic book depicting a Wampanoag person and how he or she felt about the arrival of the Pilgrims.

  To make these comic strips, students had to first learn about the historical events, then make an opinion about whether the Pilgrims had more positive or more negative effects on the Wampanoags, choose strong emotion words (using a thesaurus), and write a paragraph.  Then they had to learn the comic book app and choose one strong sentence from their paragraph to use in the final piece.  They also had a chance to critique each other's comic books.
