Mae Nak Phra Khanong

Greetings, students!

Today, you'll be making cartoon strips about the Thai ghost story Mae Nak Phra Khanong (แม่นากพระโขนง)


Actress Davika Hoorne playing Mae Nak in the 2013 movie Pee Mak

Your cartoon should:
  • Explain the story of Mae Nak Phra Khanong to somebody who has never seen/heard of it before.
  • Have at least six different panels- more than six is fine!
  • Use at least one sentence of English for each panel.
Here's a Wikipedia article about the story, but try not to copy it exactly. If you can write the story in your own words, you will get a higher score.

Your cartoon must have at least six panels, but it can be divided any way that you like.

This is pretty cool!
You should start making your comic strip today, but if you need more time for drawing, writing, or colouring, the final date for giving it to Teacher Philip is Thursday, 3rd November
