Digestive System Comic Strip Assignment
Instructions: In a comic strip, you will describe the entire journey of a food item (your choice) from the time it enters the mouth to
its removal from the body through excretion. I encourage you to be creative, but make sure you follow the assignment guidelines
carefully. BEFORE you start, you need to make sure you know what all of the terms below mean, and how they process and digest
the food that you consume.
