PREPARATION
- Choose a book to model the comic strip planning and writing process. The example used in this lesson is Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak; however, any book that your students are familiar with will work for this activity.
- Copy the Story Elements Comic Strip Planning Sheet for students.
- Test the Comic Creator Student Interactive on your computers to familiarize yourself with the tool and ensure that you have the Flash plug-in installed. You can download the plug-in from the technical support page.
- Draw the columns from the Story Elements Comic Strip Planning Sheet on chart paper, an overhead, or the board, so that you can fill in the information as you discuss the story.
