Final Task - Create your own comic!
CREATE YOUR OWN COMIC!
Marvel is looking for a new working group to join its teen department. To this end, they have decided to
organize a competition for all those who want to apply for the job. What do you
have to do to participate? In groups of five, create your own comic!
Use the comic maker Toondoo and remember you are free to choose the plot
and the characters of your comic.
 |
 |
Toondoo is easy to use. Create your user account and begin to create
your characters and cartoons. Then, you can put them together in a comic-book. If
you are a little lost, the following tutorial can help you: youtube.com/watch?v=B81P7T3YRfU.
The deadline is (date). That day, you will have to show your work to
your classmates by means of a brief presentation (no more than 15 minutes). The
rest of the class will give an opinion about your performance!
Be creative and enjoy!
Assessment
- Ability to work effectively in group and individually
- Oral presentation (verbal and non-verbal skills, content, originality, visual aid, group organization, interest)
- Self-assessment
- Contents and form: you have to take care not only about the correctness and accuracy in using the language (morphology, grammar, syntax), but also about the form.
