For my Unit 3 assignment, I have been trying out a few websites to make my comic. So far I have been playing around with the layouts of Canva and Pixton.  I have not written much because I was just trying out different sites but it’s a start. I still have to figure out what I will use to write my comic and how I’m going to write it.

For my Unit 3 assignment, I shall be creating a comic book that will give a visualization of what I will be talking about. This is a good way because the comic that I looked at shows the different emotions and events that happened throughout the comic and I thought it would be fun to be this creative. This comic will include words and phrases that are common things to hear in other comics like my mentor text which uses words that any other person would use, nothing too special. The tone of my comic will be serious and maybe add some humor to it too because that is something that the other comic has which makes it interesting. My comic will talk about the beginning of this year to the end but there will be some kind of flashbacks or inner thought like my mentor comic has. My mentor comic starts by talking about the present and takes things back in time to the events that led to the present situation. The author of my mentor text has flashbacks to thoughts and emotions that the characters have throughout the scenes. I think if my comic has some flashbacks in a few panels it will make it interesting. An example of a flashback that I can include is when I am talking about something that happened mid-year and have a flashback thought about something that happened at the beginning of the year. My comic can consist of dialogs and monologs something that the author uses in their comic which can show some emotions coming from the character.

For this unit, I will be discussing the prompt “How has the past year challenged or changed you?”. After this year that has passed, I have noticed that I would get bored of being at home sometimes. Before I used to be fine with staying home and not doing much but now there are times where I am willing to go to the corner store to buy a soda or anything just so I can step out of the house. Being stuck at home was fun at first because I didn’t have to put much effort into what I wore. I liked not having to wake up early and walk to school before graduating high school and not having to do my hair because “ who is going to see me?”. But now it just feeling like every day is the same thing and I miss having my friends around, seeing them in the few classes we had together. But don’t there is nothing wrong with staying home which there are times where that what I want to do.

To be specific about this topic I will talk about how it felt being forced to stay home from the beginning to now. I will talk about the things that I missed doing before this year.

 I’m not completely sure! I might write this in a comic book type of document because it might be fun to do so.  

My only major concern so far for this Unit assignment is choosing the type of document to complete this assignment.
