Event Comic
Students create a series of simple diagrams, much like a comic book or a movie storyboard, to record an event they have witnessed.
Making a comic or storyboard is a fun way to document observations and develop visual communication skills. Laying out panels and showing the flow of action using sound effects, arrows, and other touches give students creative freedom while keeping the focus on accurately documenting what they saw. Then students can deepen their memory and strengthen their storytelling skills by writing a narrative of what they saw. The approach of going from a visual representation or storyboard to writing a story scaffolds the process of writing a narrative.

Edited on 3/21/23. Written with assistance from Catherine Luckenbaugh of Park and Recreation If there’s one thing that can brighten up a home pretty quickly, it’s adding plants to your garden. But, part of a having a successful garden includes knowing what is and is not suitable for our environment. Let’s take a look at

“What could we do to attract more pollinators to our school?”

# data[].attributes.body
Create “Pollinator Protection Posters” with one action their school can take to help pollinators.

# data[].attributes.body
What happens when a pollinator visits a flower? (What does it do? What does the plant get in return?)

# data[].attributes.body
What would happen if there were no pollinators on our campus? (How would plants be affected? What about other animals?)

# data[].attributes.body
If the number of flowers in an area decreases, how might that affect the number of pollinators?

# data[].attributes.body
How do humans impact pollinators, both positively and negatively? (What happens when we plant a garden? What happens when we spray pesticides?)

What might cause one type of flower to attract more pollinators than another? (Color, shape, scent, or location?)

Watch the videos of bees buzzing around cherry blossoms in Washington, DC. Consider:

What do you notice, what do you wonder, what does it remind you of?

What do we already  know about bees?

What is the job(function) of a honey bee within their ecosystem?

Do you know of any other pollinators besides bees?

# data[].attributes.body
What other parts of nature (like weather, seasons, or other animals) influence the pollination system?

# data[].attributes.body
Can you map out a simple system model showing how pollinators help plants and how plants help pollinators?

# data[].attributes.body
What role do humans play in this pollination system? How do our actions fit into the system?

# data[].attributes.body
If one part of the pollination system is removed (like fewer bees or fewer flowers), how would the whole system change?

# data[].attributes.body
How are pollinators, flowers, and other animals connected in a system? (What does each part contribute?)
