Arts for Learning: Drawing Conclusions
Jim Gill

Students conceive, write and illustrate a storyline and draw a storyboard that uses the Humpty Dumpty theme as a basis for creating a new prologue, epilogue or adjunct plot. Students engage in drawing exercises with demonstrations of basic cartooning skills, cooperative learning to generate an adjunct storyline using Humpty Dumpty as the prompt, drawing storyboards to illustrate the sequential action of plot lines, and presenting a viewing and spoken word reading related to the storyboard.
