...and have them compete to see who can come up with the most hilarious narrative. Here are the panels:
They need to add narration or dialogue (or both), as well as specify what the word-picture relations are and how the transitions between the panels work. Every quarter I learn a little something about my students with this exercise, and this quarter is no exception: I've learned that they're either high, horny, heart-broken, violent, menstruating or some combination thereof. Should be a fun class tomorrow.
hard to do formatting here, so excuse the lack thereof:
PANEL 1 - SUE (CAPTION): I remember the early winter rains in west Texas, growing up.
PANEL 2 - SUE (CAPTION): The cows would skirt the trees, and tuck their heads.
PANEL 3 - SUE (CAPTION): The water a wall, feeling cut off
SUE (CAPTION): but connected to something bigger.
PANEL 4 - SUE (CAPTION): I'd open upward to the sky
PANEL 5 - SUE (CAPTION): The droplets a sacrament.
On the nose, sure, but that's 5 minutes tops.

Oops. Didn't read the word hilarious.
Next time, I'll do something more violently menstrual.
