IV. FOLLOW-UP ACTIVITIES
Show the students the Choojuu-giga picture scroll at http://akituya.gooside.com/choujyu_allall.htm and have them "read" it. For each picture, ask them to tell what's happening.
Picture scrolls show expressions and techniques that are used in the contemporary manga and anime, such as comical expressions, exaggerated imagery, and the use of bird's eye view as seen in this sample from "Bandainagon emaki." Have the students recognize these traits by comparing picture scrolls and manga/anime.
