Description:
Healthy Comics just hired you as a new comic strip writer and artist! For your first project, you've been assigned to write and illustrate a comic strip about the human respiratory system. But first things first - you have to do some research. Check out the articles under the Respiratory System to learn all about the parts of the respiratory system (including the trachea, lungs and diaphragm) and how these body parts work together to help you breathe. Once you have the information covered, write and illustrate a comic strip about Captain Oxygen, a courageous and daring oxygen molecule traveling through the respiratory system. Your editors at Healthy Comics will be checking for accurate facts about the respiratory system and a clear description of how the body breathes.
