Before and after
Sometimes what one person says can change the mood of one person or a whole group.
On page 57, Stanley says something that makes Zero smile and the other boys laugh. Then Mr. Pedanski says something that changes Zero's feelings.
Create a comic strip of when Stanley makes his comment, and put Stanley's words in a speech bubble next to him as you'd see it in a comic strip.
Make another comic of the group when Mr. Pedanski says what he says, and Zero glares at him. Include details from the book.
