Getting Into the Story: Creating Zines, Comics, and Accordion Books

Retell and sequencing is a major part of comprehension across subject areas. Providing students the opportunity to create their own visual representation of fictional stories, historical events, or scientific and mathematical procedures allows them to deepen their understanding of the content. Bringing comic, zine, and art book making into lessons can be an engaging, empowering, and fun way to work on these skills.
