Comic-Con 2019

In reading we did so many SUPER fun things that related to our upcoming Comic-Con like read aloud, book club groups, reading comic books, and learning about superheros. Our book club books were awesome, we read Melvin Beederman Superhero: The Curse of the Bologna Sandwich, Powerless, My Brother is a Superhero and Public School Superhero. The books were AMAZING!! We had groups and we read all types of comic books like Batman, Superman, Robin and lots more. We were begging to keep reading our books! We also did poems that were superhero themed. In reading we learned so much to help us with our comic books.

In writing we did a long process to make our comic books be WOWED! First we watched a movie called Sky High. While we watched the movie we took notes down on our papers such as words they use, names they have, powers, and anything thing else to help us brainstorm. Then we got a blank piece of paper and drew our villains and heroes plus did a sheet about their alter ego, age, job etc… When we were done with that we got a packet to work on the plot. We drafted and then moved onto our final Comic-Con book! We did good illustrations for that and when we finished making all the speech bubbles and illustrations we colored the pictures. We did a lot of extra stuff like a nameplate, scratch, and if we finished we could do a clay model of our superhero.

Before Comic-Con Mr. Husson's class came in and they taught us how to animate a scene in our real comic books through coding. We used a program called Scratch. It was so fun! We each got a partner from Mr. Husson's class and we went through a tutorial with Mr. Husson and then he would give us some time and the partners that we got could help us and if anyone had a question they could ask their partners and if their partners didn't know then they could ask one of the teachers. We had so much fun sharing our Scratch projects.

When it came time for the actual Comic-Con, We all got into our costumes dressing like our Superheroes at about 1:00 (30 mins before we had to go into the gym.) When we were all dressed we put all of our Comic-Con stuff in the gym then we helped put all of the pictures that people drew up on the walls. As people were coming by to see our comics a teacher came by and gave us a break and we took pictures in the booths. We made speeches for when the parents came by. After the parents read our comics they left us comments. It really was all AMAZINGLY SUPER!
