Cartooning

Cartooning is a great way to think through a reading selection using a creative outlet.

  1. Discuss Reading Selection

    After reading the selection, hold a group discussion to discuss the major elements of the text.

  2. Cartooning

    Based on the elements of the story discussed, you will have to create a cartoon with six slides.  Following are some options:

    1. Poster Paper

      If space is available, consider using butcher paper and draw your cartoon larger for all to see.

    2. SmartBoard

      Depending on access, consider looking at using a white board to draw your slides.

    3. Cut Outs

      Consider using cutouts from magazines to create your cartoon.

  3. Speech Bubble

    Use a maximum of two speech bubbles per slide.  One should have short phrases only.

  4. Share

    When done with cartoon, be prepared to present your comic strip with partners, groups, or with the whole class.

  5. Structure

    As per teacher guidance, use one of the following or choose another structure for organizing the content of your slides.

    2 Slides:  Beginning of story
    2 Slides:  Middle of story
    2 Slides:  End of story    		 Slide 1: Character
