Use the <b>blank frames that follow each prompt</b> to record your life as it grows with you. In any order you choose, document and explore: <ul><li>Yourself and your home - Find inspiration in your daily chores, activities and favourite clothing and objects.</li><li>The world around you - Look outwards, at the people and things you pass on walks and in public places.</li><li>Modern life - Examine how you feel about politics, the environment, online content, exercise, things that annoy you and things that make you happy.</li><li>Family and friends - Write and sketch about your relationships, socialising, disagreements, holidays and love.</li></ul> Describe your real and imagined worlds by adding text to images and become a storyteller to create your own graphic narrative!
