Introduce the project to students: working on a collaborative comic book with their partner class! To complete this project, one group will fill in the comic panels with photos and illustrations, but no text. Then, the other group will add captions, speech bubbles, and stickers to tell the story they think is being told. 

Coordinate with your partner educator on the project logistics, and consider the following options: 

• One class focuses on the photos and illustrations, while the other class focuses on the text (or each class creates a book starting with the illustrations, then both classes can swap books and add text to each other’s books).
  ‍
• You might alternate these roles one page at a time, so both classes get an opportunity to add photos / illustrations and write text. 
  ‍
• You might also assign each character to different students, so they can tell the story from their perspective.
