In breakout rooms discuss for 5-8 minutes:

• Did one or more of the zines have an impact on you? On the creator?
• How do the zines document their time?
• How do the zine images complement or complicate the text?
• How does a zine communicate knowledge or mastery of its topic?
  • Which students might flourish making a zine in a way they don't in a research paper?
  • Are learning styles also performing styles?
  • How would you grade a zine?

Group share.
