I have been teaching writing classes on Outschool for almost 4 years that includes a favorite unit on comic writing. Also, I have taught comic units in-person in classroom, non-profit activity, and therapeutic settings as a part of my work as a teacher, tutor, and therapist. I have a Bachelor's and Master's degree in education and am finishing a clinical psychology degree where I have worked with young clients to use writing and comics to express themselves as a coping mechanism.
Students will need a pencil, paper, ruler, and something colorful like crayons, colored pencils, or markers. They may also use the prints provided by the teacher.
Students will be creating their own artwork and different families have different opinions on violence or scariness within their households. If a student is sharing work that seems to graphic the teacher will ask them to send it privately for feedback instead of sharing with the class.
