G. Pixton- You are now going to pick one of your three computer people and create a comic about their life.

You do NOT have time to read other comics.

Choose SUNDAY FUNNY option.

Once you hit create there is a short 2 minute video you can watch to help, Miss W will show most features on Smartboard.

H. If you have time you can create a web site at Wix and embed your faKebook links and your comic link.

Have fun and remember if you have to turn in a project for another class you can ask to see if you are able to use one of these options.
