**National Comic Book Day Activity (Grades 3–12 ELA)**
Create a short comic **right here in Formative** using a mix of **drawing + typing** (captions, dialogue, thought bubbles).
**Choose ONE pathway:**
- **Option A: Character Reveal Comic** — Your comic should reveal character traits through actions, dialogue, and choices.
- **Option B: POV Remix** — Retell the same event from a different point of view (first-person, third-person limited, or third-person omniscient).
**Success criteria (both options):**
- Clear narrative structure (beginning → middle → end)
- Characterization (traits revealed through actions, dialogue, and choices)
- Theme (a message about life, people, or society)
- Point of view (POV) is intentional and consistent
- Conventions: spelling, punctuation, and readable lettering
**Choose your challenge level:**
- **Grades 3–5:** 3 panels; simple problem/solution; theme as a lesson; mostly captions
- **Grades 6–8:** 4–6 panels; dialogue + captions; theme + 2 supporting moments
- **Grades 9–12:** 6–8 panels; add subtext/irony or motif; consider an unreliable narrator in the POV remix
When you finish, double-check your work and submit.
