Original Prompt

Create an assignment where students have to research and then make a comic strip on Virgil's Aeneid.

This learning resource focuses on Virgil's epic poem, the Aeneid, which tells the story of Aeneas, a Trojan hero destined to found Rome. Students are tasked with creating a comic strip that illustrates key events from Aeneas's journey, including the Fall of Troy and his encounters with various characters, such as Dido and Turnus. The project requires students to select at least three major events, accurately depict characters, and include dialogue and captions. A research guide is provided to help students understand key characters, important plot points, and the historical significance of the Aeneid. The project not only enhances comprehension of the text but also encourages creativity and artistic expression as students bring the narrative to life.
