Workshop
Author/Illustrator Visit Using her own
Comics are known
for their ability to
engage even the
most reticent readers,
making them well
loved by kids
everywhere. Jo uses
her own comics to
introduce students to
this unique storytelling
medium. Starting with an imaginative exercise that
will set the stage for their story, the students then
focus on weaving together words and pictures into
a short comic of their own creation. Older students
will get a more extensive look at comic making
techniques. In a one hour session, Jo will use an
interactive drawing demonstration and a short
hands-on exercise to walk the students through the
creative writing process.
