Description

A structured programme embedding comics in Slovene language and art lessons for primary pupils, delivered in "eight units, at 19 Slovene and art lessons" over approximately seven weeks. It progresses from learning comics' basic characteristics and speech bubbles, through creating comics and detecting text incoherence, to active work with literary texts. Teachers received a six-hour training in three parts and a graded lesson-plan manual (one version for grades 2–3, another for grades 4–5, differing mainly in text difficulty).
