How to use it
Try the first question together so the format is clear. Then let your child work through the rest, showing their thinking on the page. It is one of the harder sheets for Grades 10–11, best once the basics of the topic are secure.
There is no separate answer key; talk through the answers together when it is done.
Tip for grown-ups: Plan the story in three words (start, middle, end) before drawing the panels.
Done on paper? A grown-up can record it on the child's page in PlayOwl; downloading alone doesn't count as finished.
