COMIC RELIEF : Graphic Novel Production

Through Director's Cut our students will be able to create graphic novels about their Character Matters Trait in action in their every day life. Students will create and link awareness issues. The students will connect with each other and engage in discussions about Character Matters Traits and why they are important life skills. Discussions will build in links to what happens at the community level.

Once completed, we will be inviting the parents in for an evening assembly to review our work and discuss the issues.
