ASK: You have been hired to illustrate the Aesop's fable "The Fox and the Crow" by Highlights Magazine. Highlights is printing, a pull-out broadsheet cartoon. Students need to use the template to illustrate the key points of the fable.
Students have learned how to draw a fox, a crow, cheese, and a tree. These next three weeks, students will construct a Comic-book-style broadsheet with a Title Scene, beginning, series of middle panels, an ending scene, and a moral scene. Use the Template (Template Link).
Title Scene needs:
Beginning scene needs:
Middle scenes need a combination needs:
Ending scenes needs:

1. Download the Template. |
2. OPTIONAL -- Create your Idea Board - for consistency. |
Insert your Crow, Fox, Tree, and Cheese onto the template slide so you have them. Make sure they are transparent. Use the Comic Broadsheet template with the grid in the background. This helps you with spacing.
Use Layers. Your Crow, Fox, Cheese, Tree, and background-sky are all layers. Using layers means the ORDER matters. If you put the crow down first, then the tree next, the tree is on top of the crow so the tree will cover up the crow. You can change the order of your elements using the Right Click, Order, Send Forward or Send Backwards. Forward means closest to you. Backwards means background. |
