 Now, it’s time to create your own short story.

 Take the challenge!!!

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Go to COMIC STRIP EXAMPLE, read the comic strip and guess what will happen at the end of the story. 

(Note: comic strip does not necessarily mean a funny story, it is just a literary genre)

Note: If you need help use the supporting videos.

3. Following the model fromCOMIC STRIP EXAMPLE and  create your own open ended graphic strip.

Use the rubric to guide you on the characteristics a comic strip should have.  

Here are some examples of free apps and web pages that help you to create comic strips.
