Comic Apprenticeship with Citizen Schools

My apprenticeship with Citizen Schools is coming to a close.  We have about 2 weeks left.  Over the past 2-3 months, Frank and I have been teaching students about comics.  This week the students are working on their final drafts.  I hope at least half of them finish by this week. If not, they will have next week to finish up.  It's WOW! next week, where the students will present their comics to the public.  HOW EXCITING!

The first Saturday of May was FREE COMIC BOOK DAY, where participating comic book stores give out free comics.  We took the students on a field trip to a local comic book store and it was a lot of fun.  We all got on a bus; I've haven't been on a school bus in ages.

First Aid Comics is the local comic shop we visited and it was great!  They had face painting for kids, complementary snacks (churros and cookies, YUM!)  Thanks for the hospitality First Aid Comics! We had a grand ole time and the students had themselves a fantastic and memorable experience.
