Who is your favorite hero?
The Comic Book Project (www.ComicBookProject.org) engages youth in the process of writing, designing, and showcasing original comic books about community heroes. The program helps build literacy development, social awareness, and teamwork skills. Participants will participate in select activities from the Comic Book Project using accessible technologies such as phone camera pictures of hand-drawn art, Google docs, online whiteboards and other technologies to create comic books. The workshop will conclude with ideas and best practices for implementing in-person and virtual comic book clubs.
