Assignment:
- Choose the number of frames for your comic strip to best reflect your poem.
- You must include the text of the full poem in your comic strip.
- You are not required to have characters speaking the lines--it could be a nature scene with no characters and only the text.
- Remember, these poets are striving to create a clear, specific image in the minds of the reader. This is what you should do when creating this strip. The image needs to be central in its connection to the text.
- PRINT your poem comic strip when you finish.
"This Is Just to Say," William Carlos Williams
