ECBI presents Operation Comic Book!
Bundled learning system designed to promote literacy & creativity through comic books.
Step 1 – Identify Launching Pads: schools, churches, libraries, learning centers, Scouts. Provide free comic books to everyone. Form a comic book club: enlist Comic Book Cadets.
Step 2 – Conduct “Let’s Make Comic Books” program: general program where students create original comic books. Phase two focuses on dedicated theme-based stories.
Step 3 – Develop properties through vertical channels:
Photography, stop-motion animation, sculpt your character, paint your cover, act out scenes from your story, create a theme song, video games, motion comic books.
Step 4 – Celebrate with a comic book “Funday”:
Display all work. Invite student body, family and community. Vote on best work and award scholarships.
Operation Comic Book can be launched at the beginning of the school year or early January. Comic book “Fundays” can be held in conjunction with Free Comic Book Day.
During the summer months, look for advanced programming and regional competitions for scholarship opportunities.
Summer conventions, movie premiers, and special events will provide a great way to stay connected to fellow Cadets. Check out the ECBI channel page for a listing of career opportunities and education pathways.
Life-long learning. One comic book at a time. |
