The Stone Age Comic

Your goal is to create a comic strip that compares/contrasts the two periods of the Stone Age. Your comic strip should feature an encounter between a teenager from the Paleolithic Age and a teenager from the Neolithic Age. Please follow the directions below.

The Stone Age Comic

Divide your paper into four squares on the front and the back for a total of eight squares.

Write your name, date and period in the first square.

Define the two periods of the Stone Age in the second square and include a picture of a fictional character from each age.

Label the next five squares with the following labels for your comic strip: Food Supply, Shelter, Communities, Jobs & Trade.

The Stone Age Comic

In each of the five squares, please draw your two characters discussing how their time periods are similar or different based on that category. Each square should have dialogue from each character. You should also include a background image and any other relevant pictures.

In the final square, tell me which period you would prefer to live in and why. Your discussion must be a minimum of 1 paragraph (4-5 sentences).
