All right class.

So what I'm gonna be doing today is um we're gonna learn more about black history.

We're gonna have you pick a person that was an important figure

and black history for the United States of America to be past present.

Um Celebrity scientist, athlete.

Whoever you feel inspired about, I'm gonna share screen.

What we're gonna do is we're gonna we're going

to create our own little uh comic strip.

So as you can see right up here I'm gonna go right back to the beginning real quick.

We have everybody figure to your your email,

you'll have an invite to come to Pinkston and you'll be in our classes

and once you're in your class you can get

the my comics which will be your comments actually

um you can create and I created one to show you guys. So what we're doing inside this,

what we're doing for this comic is you're gonna have your imp important person,

you're going to look up clues about that person,

different facts and you're going to create a comic strip and

you're gonna give hints all the way through your comic strip.

Now what I'm looking for is I'm looking for six slides.

You may do 1/7 1 stating who the person is. That's fine. Um But no more than really 67.

When you do the clues we make the clues,

I want those clues to the background and the person to match um what those clues are.

So I was born in Alabama. So at this site back here I had 100.

I was hundreds of uses for the peanut. There.

He was on a farm when he went to Iowa State University. There is the university.

What we're gonna do is we're gonna we're

gonna come together once we've made these comics

and you're going to present them to present your own comic.

And we're gonna see if um people the other students can guess who your person is.

Um Of course you know the very last one

once everybody's guest you gotta write or whatever.

You can show it right here. I'm gonna show you how you guys are gonna do this.

So I'm gonna grade this based on grammar.

So that means capitalization,

the beginning of sentence and then ending punctuation.

So I'm gonna look for that. I'm gonna look for.

If you notice in each one of my uh comics down

here on the right hand corner there's a different background.

I want a different background and I want

your character to have different facial expressions.

Doing different things in every comment. I'm gonna comic slide.

I'm going to grate on that also.

Uh And then I'm gonna grate on the number of slides.

So keep that in mind when you're making these uh when you're making your comic strip.

So now if you're up here you hit background. Hit seen abstract weather.

All these things are for the background.

You can choose all these different things to build up your background,

you can go down here to character

and I'm gonna add a person and we're gonna build our own character.

You can literally put in the search bar or anything you

want or you can use one of these buttons up here

and design your character and it should reflect the person

then the important person uh that you're giving clues about.

And so as we move on,

uh

if you had the person you're gonna like

put your person there,

whether a male or female put female um as you move along

um you get to start picking different things like your size,

you can edit the character,

uh skin color, hair color

and the type of hair or their outfit.

Words.

I want you to mainly just focus on speech and

using these bubbles and when you type something in here,

your little check mark

gonna pop up over here on the right side.

That's how you're gonna build your character,

writing your clues,

uh facial expressions.

I'm gonna I'm gonna grade you guys on I want for every

slide different background but also want

different facial expressions and different actions.

I want to see them doing stuff.

That's all I'm gonna grate on this time, so I don't want to get too crazy into it.

I know there's so many kids who have different issues. So

if some kids who are more special,

you have more accommodations um you can choose to use the same background,

those of you that I've talked to about this already.

You can choose to use the same background. Um, I can pre write your sentences for you

and um,

we can talk about how many slides you need to have.

But other than that, I'm gonna leave you guys to that.

Let me see if I can get out of this sheer screen here,

I'll leave the eyes to that.

And just remember at the end, once you've completed everything,

we're going to present those uh, comics to the whole class,

this can be done virtually.

This can be done in class

and they're gonna have to guess to see who your important

figure in african american history of the United States is.
