Manga Mania!

This week, we hosted our second annual Manga Mania event. In collaboration with East Wake HS Anime Club, some of our former WMS students, we had rotations through stations:
  1. Writing Hriagana and Katakana style
  2. Drawing Manga characters
  3. Roll-a-story with Manga elements
  4. Bento box webquest and Vocaloid introduction
We were having so much fun together, that we ran out of time for the webquest! Here are some shots of our activities from the event.

Which one is really his?

We used print materials to guide our drawing
Refreshments always spark the creative process, right?

The Story:
Goku uses instant transmission to get out of the tsunami. Kenshin's adreneline surges, so he swims out. When he got out of danger, he realized he was close to death.

Goku is confused and teleports right to the beach where the tsunami is coming! Kenshin is mad because Goku teleported with him accidentally. Kenshin and Goku are fighting when they realize they are wasting their time before the wave hits them.

Goku teleports directly to heaven. Kenshin didn't go with him, instead, runs away to a safe spot... or is that a "save" spot? Kenshin threw his controller to Goku to end the video game they were playing.
