CREATING AN ETHICAL COMIC STRIP

Ethics, Legal Issues, & Cyber Security Unit

Mrs. Carter – Room 4108

Directions: Use the following website to read about possible scenarios that you could create a comic strip about ‐‐ http://www.library.illinois.edu/uni/computerlit/scenarios.html. You DO NOT have to use one of these scenarios. You could create one of your own. Follow the steps below to create a visual “comic strip” of the situation using PowerPoint. Below is a very simplified version of what is expected. Each image is a new PowerPoint slide. EXAMPLE:

Part 1: Use pictures from the internet to create characters for your comic strip. Be sure to create a situation that will clearly explain your scenario. Also include a moral to the story (ending that has a lesson to be learned from the situation).

Part 2: Use Fireworks to eliminate all unwanted objects from the picture including white space. TIPS about Fireworks  Set your canvas to Transparent (no color) so there is no background color  Use the Magic Wand tool to select similar colors  Use Select Inverse to select the opposite of what you have selected

Part 3: Once you have your pictures formatted how you would like, copy and paste the picture into PowerPoint. People’s thoughts or what they say should be displayed in a text bubble. After you create the first frame, add another slide and use that as the second frame. TIPS about PowerPoint  To move pictures in front or behind other pictures Right Click  Order  To create Text bubbles, go to Autoshapes  Callouts  To change the direction of the text bubble, click on the yellow diamond at the bottom of the Callout and move it where you want it.

Part 4: Once you have finished at least 8 frames, add a footer to your PowerPoint on Notes on Handouts. Print two slides per page to the color printer.

Comic Strip Checklist _____ Is the scenario’s message clear? _____ Is there a moral to the story? _____ Does the comic strip make sense? _____ Are all the pictures high quality? _____ Are all the pictures formatted appropriately? _____ Are all the pictures in an appropriate order (front to back)? _____ Does the comic strip have at least 8 frames? _____ Are text bubbles (callouts) used to display text? _____ Is the PowerPoint setup to print two slides per page, with a header and footer, and in color?
