              This webquest was created as a post-treatment activity and consists of the students creating their own comic about the scene which they like the most. It has different sections in which the introduction, task, process, evaluation and conclusion are explained to the students. This activity can be applied to all the texts worked in class.

Introduction

Have you ever read a comic? How many comic characters do you know? In this Webquest different comic characters invite you to enter into the comic world and become a comic expert… are you ready to enter? If you are still unsure, don’t hesitate and come in! It's the only way to discover what they have to offer. Task Organization You have to work in groups; do you know what this means? Of course… you should work hard, be responsible and cooperate by helping one another to discover and learn many things. The groups will be made up of 4 people.  Task When the groups are organised, you have to research the comic world (main characters, styles, language…) to become experts, in order to be able to create your own comic. Process <>   Each member of the group has to choose a function: - Comic book artist (the comic book artist has to look for the main characteristics of these characters and discover how to draw their physical features) - Photographer (the photographer is responsible for discovering  which are the best settings for the photographs and different techniques which could be used) - Scriptwriter (the scriptwriter has to find out which language  is used in comics) - Psychologist(the psychologist has to investigate different types of characters , if they are brave, clever etc…) The following websites will provide you the necessary information for the realization of the comic. http://www.sugarbombs.com/comics/cpart1.html http://www.bitstrips.com/create/avatar/ http://designcomics.org/ http://www.coverbrowser.com/timeline http://www.co2comics.com/blog/2011/03/28/the-language-of-comics/ http://www.learnquebec.ca/en/content/professional_development/media_literacy/literacy-today-classroom/language-comic-and-graphic-novels.html http://www.readwritethink.org/files/resources/lesson_images/lesson1056/elements.pdf Now, you are ready to start with you research. An interesting task is awaiting you!      Vídeo de YouTube Now that the research has been completed it is the time to put all the information together and share what you have learned about the comic world. This way all the members of the group will have the information needed to start with the creation of the comic. If sharing is successful you will realize the importance of teamwork through helping each other. Evaluation For your evaluation, I am going to take into account the following criteria:  Web Comprehension(Did you understand how to use  the page? Did you find it too difficult to choose the useful info?) Writing Skills (Is the language in your task correct and well organized?) Presentation (Does your comic look nice and well presented?) Group Work (Did you work in peace and comfort with your group? Did you collaborate as much as possible with them?) Here is a table that will show you how you will be graded: Conclusions By completing this Webquest, not only will you have learnt to deal with comic world, but also you will have learnt to use the web pagesand collaborate with your mates. The purpose of this Webquest was to enable you to create an original comic but also to revise the vocabulary of the characters and their physical and psychological features... Good work! Your comic was a great success!
