The movie describes the process for creating the Fat? or Fit? health flyer in Comic Life. The
tutorials demonstrate, step-by-step, how to create a new comic and add panels, images, speech
balloons, and other elements to the comic page. You can follow along with the movies to create
an identical Comic Life document, or you can adapt this project to contain content about your
own subject. All the images used in the example project are available as a part of the
downloadable resource packet that accompanies this Lesson Accelerator.
Creating Your Own Project

You'll learn how to add panels, images, speech, and text to your comic pages. You'll also learn

way you want them to be. You can print your finished comic or create a PDF document to share
