- Students create or complete cartoon strips to share their own story or to demonstrate comprehension.
Steps: 1. Give students blank comic frames or strips with pictures and no text. 2. Provide students with a rubric to guide their work. 3. Allow students to demonstrate their comprehension of content using the comic strip format. | Differentiation: • Strategically pair students for peer support. • Partially fill in comic strip with language frames or sentence starters. • Provide students with vocabulary words and have them include a set number in their cartoon strip. Variations: • Have groups create a comic strip, assigning a different colored pen/marker to each group member. • Provide students with a completed comic strip in random order and have them sequence the story. • Use to retell a story, historical event, timeline, scientific process, steps in an experiment, or personify a mathematical concept. • White-out the text of popular comic strips and have students recreate dialogue using a select number of academic vocabulary words. • Have students dramatize or take turns reading the frames aloud to the class. |
