PREPARATION
| 1. | Check your computer's audio capabilities by playing the Homophones song. Be sure students will be able to hear the song. |
| 2. | Using the Homophone Reference List, write several homophones (15–20) on index cards (one word on each card) for small group work. |
| 3. | Create a sample homophone comic with the Comic Creator (see step 5 below) for students to look at before they create their own comics. |
