2. Looking at a timeline of
comics. Getting inspiration
for planning history
lessons...
You
could plan a
history lesson
around ww2
propaganda...
The
opportunity
to teach an art
lesson about
caricatures... Worksheets
and clipboards
are a useful
resource.
Children could make
Comic storyboards.
Old comic
books for
inspiration! The children
can learn about different
comic styles
throughout history.
Links to computing through
animation.

3. Thinking about risk
assessment.
making sure that the content
is suitable for children.
A fun activity for the children... ...and adults too!

4. The museum had a young artists
gallery, which would be a great
place for children to draw a comic
book character or attend a
workshop.

make our own comic exhibition in
school.
