Write a comic strip

Name:

Create two comic strips


Create two comic strips according to the criteria given below.
a) The first one will be about a superhero. Follow the provided template.
b) The second comic strip will be your own story or message that you want to
convey. Use six frames for this comic strip.

Before you write


Let’s revise the important features of a comic strip.
1. A comic strip is a sequence of drawings arranged in interrelated frames.
2. A comic strip uses speech bubbles for the dialogue. It can also use caption boxes
for the narrator to explain parts of the story.
3. You would usually use a main character and a supporting character. Other
characters can be introduced.
4. Use different kinds of speech bubbles to display the story.

Let’s plan your Superhero comic strip
1. Think of a simple story.
2. Think about your characters.

3. Write your story in sentences on a rough piece of paper – one sentence for each
frame in your comic strip.
4. Plan your characters and think about what they’ll say. Look at the frame on the
next page. Decide what to write in the caption boxes.

Let’s write your first comic strip


Comic Strip 1: A superhero story by _____________________
Let’s write your second comic strip consisting of six frames.
1. Use an A4 piece of blank paper in landscape view. Draw your six frames. Leave
space for a title and your name. Look at the rubric.
2. Think of a simple story that will convey the message you want to bring across.
3. Think about your characters. Will you have one main character and one
supporting character? Will you have more than that?
4. Write your story in six sentences on a rough piece of paper – one sentence for
each frame in your comic strip.
5. Plan your characters and think about what they’ll say in the speech bubbles.
Practise writing in speech bubbles in this frame below. You’ll need to write in
small, neat handwriting.

6. Decide whether to use caption boxes.


7. Make sure you have a plot with a conflict in it that needs to be resolved.
8. Use the writing process for your comic strip. Do your first draft in pencil and ask a
friend to check it. Make your corrections, and write your final draft to hand in to
your teacher.
9. Read your comic strip to your class.
