=Introduction= Have you even tried to explain a complex topic to a young child? Did you become frustrated when they didn't understand? This will help you make it easier. Evolution, natural selection, and adaptations are extremely hard concepts. You will be required to break down these complex ideas and make them so simple that a 3rd grader could understand- literally.

=Task=

Marvel Comics has just published a contest looking for creative comics about evolution. As professional authors, you have entered this contest to make a creative comic that depicts an animal and its evolution. The parameters of the contest mandate that the comic must be easy for an elementary student to understand. Also the comic needs to be fun to read in order for it to be considered. The Marvel executives will come and listen to your team presentations and judge which comics have the most potential to be published. The winner of this contest will meet with these executives, who will give some last minute revisions, and tell your team they have one week to finish the revisions and submit the comic for publishing.

Conclusion
Congratulations! You made it! At some point in your life you might have to explain these concepts to someone who has no understanding of the subject. By creating this comic you were able to break down these simple ideas and explain them and now you can explain them to anyone.
