12 Comics Learning Support Program
Description: The 12Comics Learning Support program is an exciting and unique program that makes learning fun through the creation of a custom comic book. The primary focus of the program is designed to empower and encourage students to enhance their knowledge and experience the incredible benefits of written expression. The students, in a class ranging from five to ten students, learn how to generate an online and printed Graphic Novel using a collaborative comic book Superhero script. The students are allotted eight calendar weeks to learn how to develop characters, settings and plots using varied situations and people such as family members and friends. The program emphasizes student cooperation and communication as students work together to develop their character's comic book stories.
When the script is complete, it is reviewed and edited before being submitted to professional artists for artwork (pencils, inks and colors) and publication. At the end of the program, 12Comics publishes the comic book with each student receiving three copies. The comic will feature each of the characters developed in the class. Comic books are published and made available for sale on the 12Comics online store. A percentage of all sale proceeds, after production cost are covered, are paid to the students. At end of the program, students have the option to sign up again and repeat the class throughout the school year. Some students have use the program to start their own online business.
