< INTRODUCTION, CONCLUSION & WORKS CITED PAGE >
Wait for the teacher to explain, in class, how to use Comic Life.
Tip: Include backgrounds and background details only when necessary. Focus on the characters (body language and facial expressions).
As you create your images, make sure to leave space for the bubbles and text.
FOR AI: Begin by creating your character designs. You may use the following prompt for each character: "Create the character design of [describe your character, making sure each character has one outstanding characteristic, such as glasses, curly hair, or a tie]. The background is entirely blank, white. Show the character from the front, the back, and the side, in an Alternative comic book style, in black and white."
FOR STORYBOARDTHAT: After creating one image on Storyboard That, (1) make the image as big on your screen as possible by zooming and (2) take a screenshot.
On a Mac, to take a screenshot, press and hold these three keys together: Shift, Command, and 3.
On a Microsoft computer, you may use the Snip & Sketch app.
3) ESSAY: If you have completed your draft of your first and second paragraphs, you may also begin to type it up, word for word, while correcting only punctuation and spelling errors.Note: If you prefer, you can pay $1 and download the images without watermarks.
Turn on Microsoft Word Editor to possibly identify and correct a few basic writing errors; there is no need to insert comments at this stage of the editing process.Complete the final editing stage -- by yourself (without AI) or by using the eight permitted AI prompts on Moodle -- while following these rules very closely:
Every single modification (at least TEN to complete the final process task), at this stage, must be identified by inserting a comment into the word document. In each comment, clarify the modification that was made and, if you used AI, identify the permitted prompt that was used.
These changes (replacing or adding a word) cannot affect more than four words in a given sentence.
Only one sentence per paragraph can be edited beyond four words.
You may delete or remove any word or sentence.
If AI suggests words that you don't know how to pronounce, cannot define without a dictionary, or wouldn't typically use, do not use them. Everything you write should sound like you. While using AI for editing suggestions is allowed in my courses, your work should never sound like it was generated by AI. The use of AI should be transparent, blending seamlessly with your voice and authentic writing style.
Take care.
