Sense of Place Poster

I love doing these assignments and going back and looking at the pictures I took of that trip. I keep learning more and more fun instructional tools everyday in this class. I never knew comic strip existed.

The camping trip me and Tim took was in April 2007 and it was still kind of cold at night. I like a nice warm bed at night, but I was a good sport about it being only 0 degrees outside. I have never been camping in the middle of no where before this trip. It was a great trip and definitely wasn't my last. Since then, we have gone on many camping trips and I am really starting to enjoy being in the middle of no where.

I can see how much fun students could have with comic strip in creating comics for an art project or for a sense of place assignment like ours. I love how you can be so creative with the project too. There are guidelines to follow but the creativity is all up to you. This project is a good way for students to express themselves with pictures they have taken. This assignment would also be good for a photography class. Have the students take a set of pictures and then make a poster of the final pictures. There are so many instructional tools with the comic strip. As I use it more and more I will become more familiar with it. After using it just once, I feel pretty comfortable with it now. I can't wait to see everyones posters!!
