In the Comics Room one our exercises is to write a short scene based on a random magazine photo . We have to pretend we are someone in the photo and write for seven minutes about what’s going on. After we finish, I ask if someone will read their story to the class. Afterward everyone has three and a half minutes to draw what they pictured. When we hold them up to show each other everyone gasps. I’m always amazed by this exercise. Here are the response drawings to a story read by classmate Red Burgundy.
