🎯 Purpose:

The goal of peer reflection is to help each other grow as thoughtful historians and storytellers. You’ll use the prompts below to respond to your classmates’ comics in ways that are specific, respectful, and reflective. Your feedback should highlight what worked well and offer constructive suggestions that help your peers deepen their historical understanding and expression.

📝 Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Choose a Classmate’s Comic

   • Pick one comic that captures your attention or tells a story that feels powerful or complex.

   • Read the panels carefully. Pay attention to the images, words, historical accuracy, and emotions being portrayed.

2. Use the Reflection Prompts Below

   • Respond to each question in 2–4 thoughtful sentences.

   • Be specific! Refer to what you see and read in the comic.

3. Submit Your Response

   • Post your response on Padlet, Flipgrid, Google Form, or wherever your teacher has asked you to respond.

   • Sign your name (first name or initials only if anonymous).

   • Be kind. Be honest. Be helpful.
