Make Your Own Mini-Comic!
Class experience
In this one-time arts class, students will learn to make a small mini-comic booklet through folding a single sheet of paper and making one small cut. They'll then be able to use this skill to create a small folded booklet onto which they can draw. We'll go step-by-step through the folding process together, where students will engage in learning by listening to and watching me fold a single sheet of paper into an 8-page booklet.

This class is taught in English.
Students will learn how to fold paper to create an 8-page minicomic (math and spatial skills), brainstorming about story ideas, how to organize and plan a specific story, and some introductory tips about penciling, inking, and coloring. Learners will be able to use whatever arts materials they would like. Any size of paper works, though I use an 8.5 x 11 inch piece of copier/printer paper in my instruction.
I have taught this lesson many times in my afterschool teaching work, as part of other classes, and at zine fairs and festivals across my home state. I have a background in arts education with students, and I am a working artist who makes these types of minicomics regularly.
