The item I emphasize is getting the major events correct and listing them in chronological order. I receive a range of quality in the drawings. I like to have students present their work to the class, or I will post student work in the classroom and have a gallery walk-through. I like this activity because students get to choose events they feel are most important in the literary work and standout to them. This allows students to use more space when drawing/coloring pictures. There are no text boxes for the pictures. I also provided a copy of one template that indicates where the pictures should be written. This simply forces students to be selective with their words when they write their short description.

Sure, some shows “come to a natural end,” but someone somewhere said “enough,” and to avoid endless discussions about whether a title was “cancelled” or “retired” - Westworld and The Man Who Fell to Earth were cancelled, but The Flash and The Handmaid’s Tale get to come to their natural conclusions - we’re going with the one designation. How it works: Renewals are obvious: new season = yay! When a network or streaming service announces that they’re not making another season of a show, however, we count that as cancelled (or “canceled” if you spell it without SEO considerations).
