Project Overview:
Throughout the course of this project, students will examine how communities and families come together through and around food. At the same time, they will learn about the graphic novel genre through reading two graphic memoirs: Relish as a class and a self-selected graphic memoir. They will write a graphic memoir based on a personal, food-related story. This memoir can be a story about yourself or someone else in your family network. This three to four page spread will be featured in a class graphic anthology.
