Introduction/Warm up (10 minutes)
Ask SS “Which comic character are you most like?”
Can be any character. If you know the character, you can make a comment about it (conversation). If you don’t, then you can ask the student to teach it to you.
Activity one: Sentence Unscramble (7 minutes)
Show SS a comic with the speech erased and dialogue sentences put below the comic in the wrong order. SS sort out the order of the sentences. Then, they fill in the speech bubbles.
Activity two: Make your own comic (20-30 minutes)
SS choose from a selection of different comics (or JTE/ALT could offer only one comic) and fill in the (empty) speech bubbles with their own conversation.
Activity three: Presentation (10 minutes)
In groups, SS exchange comics and read them
