They first shared their stories orally, then composed a written paragraph describing the event. Finally, they imagined that they were the writers of their own graphic memoirs and using the comic strip making program provided by Pixton.com, students created a "page" from their imagined memoir. Ms. C-R's example can be found below. The rest can be found by clicking here.
