My Comic Life Example

My comic life project is part of group 6's interdisciplinary unit on space exploration. I am an English teacher, so my part of the unit deals with persuasive writing. When practicing for the Georgia High School Graduation Test in Writing, Georgia students must learn how to write persuasively. In my classroom, we write on a wide variety of persuasive topics, and doing so is a great way to participate in interdisciplinary study. My comic life project deals with students coming from science class to English class who are talking about how they wish they could study space in English. When they learn that they will, they are surprised and confused, but I explain that we will be discussing the space program in our persuasive writing for the day.
