8/12/08 Sessions

The 8/12 sessions, the last of the summer, were split into three groups like the 8/5 sessions: 10-12, 7-9, and 5-6. There were 20 kids in the first, 22 in the second, and 14 in the third. Exact template numbers will come later.

Each of the three were different lessons. The first, 10-12, covered multi-page comics. The second and third were group comic efforts, with the second using pre-drawn and the third using blanks. The second session was competitive between two teams for an added element of motivation.

The group comic efforts were simple: a child would write/draw in one panel, then pass it to the right. When the comic was finished, they got a new one. Multiple comics were put into circulation so the kids would have a minimum of down time between panels. The intent was to simulate the "jam comics" done by many artists.
