                                                                              24 Hours in a day.

                                                                              Picture
                                                                              This task requires you to make a comic strip of a typical 24 hours in the life of an ANZAC at Gallipoli.

                                                                              First chose your date.  This is significant as it will dictate the weather conditions you are experiencing, what campaigns you have been involved in, or are involved in, on a set date.


                                                                              You can design your comic strip by hand on paper if you wish, or using a computer program, or an ipad application such as Strip Designer or Comic Strip.

                                                                              Your comic strip will need to cover a full 24 hour period and what you would be doing at each part of the day.



                                                                              1.    Choose enough photos from the visuals section that cover the different aspects of your day. You may also choose to draw some of the images you want to include.

                                                                              2.    Once you have chosen your images, write your text.  Think of typical text in comic strips.  Words are kept to the minimum. Their role is to support and explain the visuals, which should tell the majority of the story. Don’t be too wordy. A good idea would be to include sections of quotes that you can find under the personal accounts section of this website.

                                                                              Your comic strip will need to have at least 8 cells and cover one full 24 hour period.

                                                                              Remember:

                                                                              - Your five senses;­ what do you see, hear, smell, taste and feel?

                                                                              - Historical accuracy.

                                                                              - Punchy text.
