Prior
Learning
and
Experiences:
Prior
to
this
lesson,
the
students
would
have
explored
different
comics
and
the
characters
in
these
comics.
The
students
also
would
have
formed
their
pairs
and
would
have
brainstormed
ideas
for
their
comics
and
superheroes.
This
is
vital
to
the
lesson
as
work
needs
to
start
on
the
creation
of
the
superhero
in
their
pairs.
