Drawn to the Story: Exploring Graphic Novels
Our night ELA Credit Diploma class is off to a creative start! Using Pixton, a web-based storytelling platform, students created their own avatars to represent our classroom community.
This semester, they’ll be exploring the art and impact of the graphic novel — reading works like My Black Friend and Persepolis, while also building their own 15-page original graphic novel as a culminating project.
This project shows how Norwich Adult Ed students are using digital skills, storytelling, and creativity to build both academic credit and real-world readiness.
