Description of activity.
I go over the basics of creating a comic book from scratch. See video below.
What did I do?
I went through the step by step process of comic making. From initial idea to the finished book and everything in between. This Video was made for children to access in lockdown.
Why did I do it like that?
Kid friendly and easy to follow.
Did it work/or not work and how do I know this?

Conclusions
