Use your knowledge about the 8 moon phases to create an original comic strip.
Create a comic strip on paper, electronically.
Comic Strip Requirements:
Impersonate either the sun, the moon, or Earth and write a “personal experience” comic strip from the perspective of your chosen character to explain how the phases change with time.

You must use the following key terms: waxing, waning, percent of illumination, gibbous, crescent, first quarter, third quarter, full moon, new moon.
Create a descriptive and interesting title for your comic strip - Use frame 1 of your final comic strip for this purpose.
Sign your name under the last frame of your comic strip - like a true artist!
Include between 6 -9 frames in your comic strip.
Be creative, neat, colorful!
Be accurate in telling your story from the perspective chosen.
