Une bande dessinée (a comic strip)
You will create an 8 frame comic strip, telling a story in the past, using both the PASSECOMPOSE and the IMPARFAIT appropriately.
You will work in groups of 2 only. Each member of the group will be accountable for the written
part of the project. QUALITY IS IMPORTANT.
Your final comic strip will be no smaller than 8 ½ x 11, and no bigger than 11 x 16.
For your illustrations, you are welcome to draw, use computer graphics, or Paintshop, or to do a
cut-and-paste. It needs to be neat and attractive.
Your work will be exhibited at Open House in April !
