Click here to access the comic I found this part of the literacy narrative to be a fun and creative twist on what would typically be a traditional English class assignment. Throughout the drafting and sketching process, I began to practice the 5 choices for clarity that we have discussed in class — moment, frame, […]
Read moreThis four-panel layout was interesting to work with! I was able to give a “beat” of hesitation in my narrative, as the fork and spoon looked at each other. This comic is about how Spoon and Fork believe they do not have any siblings, but then a new student comes to class, Spork, that looks […]
Read moreYou can find my comic here. Writing my literacy narrative as a comic was a very interesting experience. First of all, it was difficult to decide what to include and what to leave out.

The lack of panels gave me limited space, and thus I had to create a story in which the viewer could use the gutters to construct the missing parts. Compared to a triptych, where my story flowed from […]
Read moreWhile I had a plethora of experience in writing essays, turning my literacy narrative into a comic presented a whole new set of challenges. In my literacy narrative I included an abundance of examples from past experiences I had with both reading and writing in school and recreationally, which disrupted the flow of the chronological […]
Read moreWhen I first drafted my literacy narrative, it was extremely rocky as I was, and still am, not quite sure how to write such an abstract topic. The sudden freedom that was given to me actually left me with fewer options than I thought I would end up with. I threw words onto the page, […]
